💰 The Bali ROI Formula: Breaking It Down
ROI = (Annual Profit ÷ Total Investment) × 100
Example Calculation:
- Villa purchase price: $500,000
- Renovation/legal: $50,000
- Total Investment = $550,000
- Annual rental income: $65,000
- Annual expenses: $25,000
- Annual Profit = $40,000
- ROI = ($40,000 ÷ $550,000) × 100 = 7.27%
