The quote handoff carries your inputs and assumptions. Only an explicit base cost is suggested as a quote cost; prices, rates and measurements remain planning notes.
Method & assumptions
Net return = receipts − subsequent operating costs − initial investment. ROI = net return ÷ initial investment × 100.
- Use one consistent project or time period. Avoid counting the same expense in both initial investment and operating costs. This simple ROI excludes time value, financing and taxes unless you include them in costs.
