Portfolio Return Calculation Formula

Formula
$$\text{Return}_{\text{portfolio}} = \left( \frac{R_1 \times W_1}{100} \right) + \left( \frac{R_2 \times W_2}{100} \right) + \left( \frac{R_3 \times W_3}{100} \right)$$

Where:

  • $$R1$$, $$R2$$, $$R_3$$ = returns (%) of individual investments
  • $$W1$$, $$W2$$, $$W_3$$ = weights (%) of those investments in the portfolio
  • $$Return_{portfolio}$$ = total portfolio return (%)


The portfolio return is calculated as the sum of weighted returns from individual assets. This method helps investors assess the impact of each investment on the portfolio’s overall performance. It’s widely used in asset allocation, portfolio optimization, and financial reporting.

You can extend this formula to more than three assets by applying the same pattern: multiplying each investment’s return by its weight and summing the results.
