Calculate return on investment in seconds. Use the simple mode for any investment, or switch to website flip mode to see the total profit, ROI, annualized return and payback period of buying an online business, growing it and selling it.
Final value incl. profit
ROI = (total returned − total invested) ÷ total invested × 100. Annualized ROI compounds the return over the holding period so you can compare investments of different lengths. Figures are before tax.
ROI = (total returned − total invested) ÷ total invested × 100. If you invest ₹1,00,000 and get back ₹1,35,000, your ROI is 35%. Annualized ROI converts that into a yearly compounded rate, so a 35% return over two years is about 16.2% per year.
When you buy a website you earn twice: the monthly profit while you own it, and the sale price if you sell later. Our flip mode adds both and subtracts the purchase price and any improvement costs. Because good sites sell for 20–30× monthly profit, a buyer who grows profit can earn an attractive return on resale.
Traffic can fall after algorithm updates, affiliate commissions change and platforms update policies. Use conservative profit and sale-price assumptions, buy through escrow, and verify earnings before paying.
It depends on risk. Fixed deposits return around 6–7% a year in India; online businesses are riskier and buyers typically expect 30–60% annual returns from profit alone.
It is the yearly compounded return that would turn your investment into the final amount over the same period. It makes short and long investments comparable.
No. All figures are before tax. Consult a tax advisor for capital gains and business income on website sales.
Use our website value calculator - it estimates a price range from monthly profit, age and risk factors.
FlippingTraders holds the buyer's payment in escrow until the asset is transferred - so neither side can be cheated.
