What is the rate of return? A rate of return is the percentage change in value of an investment from its initial cost. To calculate the rate of return, first subtract the initial value from the current value and then divide that by the initial value. To convert it to a percentage, multiply that amount by 100. This is your rate of return on the investment over the holding period
