Rm

Enter the expected return of the market

CAPM Formula for Expected Return

Formula
$$E(R_i) = R_f + \beta_i \times (E(R_m) – R_f)$$

Where:

  • $$E(R_i)$$ = expected return of the investment
  • $$R_f$$ = risk-free rate
  • $$\beta_i$$ = beta of the investment (volatility compared to the market)
  • $$E(R_m)$$ = expected market return


The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) calculates the expected return of an asset based on its risk in comparison to the overall market. This model helps investors make informed decisions by estimating whether an asset offers a return worth its risk. It assumes a linear relationship between expected return and market risk, quantified by beta. It’s widely used in equity valuation, portfolio optimization, and cost of equity calculations.
