Mathematicians, how do you properly calculate the percentage of return on my investment?

If i spent 2 on an investment and it makes for a total of 8, how do I calculate the percentage of return on my investment. I do it a couple of different ways and come up with different answers, so I would like to know the correct way.
Thanks ; )

It’s a simple formula actually.
% return = (final price – initial price) / initial price * 100%
In your case,
(238-182)/182 *100% = 30.8%Keep printing that money!

It increased by $56 and 56 is 30.8 percent of your cost of $182. That’s a very good return. However, that is not an annual return. It is the return for the time it took to get to $238.

The best investment tool you can own is a financial calculator. Either a Hewlet Packard or the lesser expensive Texas Instrument. It is so easy.
N= Notes or # of payments/months etc.
P=Princible
PV=Present Value
FV=Future Value
i-Interest or 5 of returnI own both and have used them since mid. 80’s
