What is the Expected Return Calculator & How does it work?
The Expected Return Calculator helps investors understand the potential return of their investment portfolio. It considers the probability of different outcomes and their respective returns to provide a weighted average.
Expected Return (ER) is calculated using the formula:
ER = sum (P_i times R_i)
Pi = Probability of outcome i, Ri = Return of outcome i
This formula takes into account the likelihood and potential return of each possible scenario, giving a more realistic expectation compared to simple average returns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Expected Return Calculator?
Input the probability and return for each potential outcome of your investments, then the calculator will compute the weighted average expected return.
What is the formula used in the Expected Return Calculator?
The formula used is ER = Ξ£(Pi Γ— Ri), where Pi is the probability of outcome i and Ri is the return of outcome i.
Why is Expected Return important for investors?
Expected Return helps investors understand the potential return of their investment portfolio by considering different scenarios and their likelihoods, providing a more realistic expectation than simple returns.
Can I use this calculator for multiple investments?
Yes, you can input data for multiple investments to get an overall expected return for your entire portfolio.
What does the Expected Return Calculator not consider?
The calculator assumes that all inputs are accurate and does not account for market volatility, taxes, or other external factors that could affect returns.
How do probabilities impact the expected return calculation?
Probabilities weight each outcome's return, so higher probability outcomes have a greater influence on the overall expected return.
Is there a limit to the number of scenarios I can input?
The calculator allows you to input as many scenarios as needed, but practical limitations may apply based on the tool's design or your device's capabilities.
