Hello all. Newbie here, posting for the first time. I'm still learning things and I wanted to ask you how to figure out the Rate of Return. This is what I have to work with:
Beginning balance (ending of previous term)
Payroll (My) contributions
Change in value (can't quite figure out where this comes from)
Ending balance (ending of current term)
How can I figure out my ROR from the information I have? Also, how do I figure out the ROR from my own investments? I buy shares of stock on a regular basis (monthly), dividends are reinvested, and sometimes I sell shares. Thanks. I'd appreciate anything that helps me learn more.
