To calculate the percentage gain or loss on an investment, you can use the following formula:
(Current value – Original value) / Original value * 100
This will give you the percentage gain or loss based on the original value of the investment. For example, if you invested ₹100 and the current value is ₹110, the formula would be:
(110 – 100) / 100 * 100 = 10% gain
If the current value is 90, the formula would be:
(90 – 100) / 100 * 100 = -10% loss
Keep in mind that this formula only works if you’re calculating the percentage gain or loss on a single investment. If you have a portfolio of multiple investments, you’ll need to calculate the overall gain or loss by taking the total value of all your investments into account.
