Enter the current value ($) and the principal amount ($) into the Return on Principal Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Return on Principal.

## Return on Principal Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Return on Principal ($). ROP = (CV-PA) / PA * 100 • Where ROP is the Return on Principal ($) (%)
• CV is the current value ($) • PA is the principal amount ($)

## How to Calculate Return on Principal?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Return on Principal ($). Example Problem #1: 1. First, determine the current value ($).
• The current value ($) is given as: 584. 2. Next, determine the principal amount ($).
• The principal amount ($) is provided as: 300. 3. Finally, calculate the Return on Principal ($) using the equation above:

ROP = (CV-PA) / PA * 100

The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:

ROP = (584-300) / 300 * 100 = 94.66 (%)

Example Problem #2:

For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:

current value ($) = 1250 principal amount ($) = 943

This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.

ROP = (CV-PA) / PA * 100 = ?
