Finance Glossary — Key Terms Explained
- Compound Interest
- Interest calculated on both the principal and previously accumulated interest. Contrasts with simple interest, which only applies to the original principal.
- ROI (Return on Investment)
- A percentage measure of the profit or loss from an investment relative to its cost. ROI = (Net Profit ÷ Cost of Investment) × 100.
- APY (Annual Percentage Yield)
- The real rate of return on savings, accounting for compound interest. Higher compounding frequency = higher APY vs stated APR.
- CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate)
- The rate at which an investment grows from start to end value over a period, assuming it grew at a steady rate each year.
- Break-Even Point
- The point at which total revenue equals total costs — neither profit nor loss. Formula: Fixed Costs ÷ (Price − Variable Cost per Unit).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the compound interest formula?
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate (decimal), n is the number of times interest compounds per year, and t is the number of years.
What is a good ROI?
It depends on the investment type and risk level. Stock market average is roughly 7–10% annually (inflation-adjusted). Real estate averages 8–12%. A business investment should ideally exceed the cost of capital. Any positive ROI is better than loss.
How do I calculate profit margin?
Gross profit margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue × 100. Net profit margin also deducts operating expenses, taxes, and interest. A 10% net margin is considered good for most industries.
What is the difference between APR and APY?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual interest rate without compounding. APY (Annual Percentage Yield) factors in compounding frequency and is always equal to or higher than APR. Use APY to compare savings accounts, APR to compare loan costs.
