Quick Start

from roi_calculator import ROICalculator

calc = ROICalculator()

# Simple ROI
roi = calc.simple_roi(investment=10000, return_value=15000)
print(f"ROI: {roi['roi_percent']}%")

# Marketing ROI
marketing = calc.marketing_roi(
    ad_spend=5000,
    revenue_generated=25000,
    cost_of_goods=10000
)
print(f"Marketing ROI: {marketing['roi_percent']}%")

# Break-even analysis
breakeven = calc.break_even(
    fixed_costs=50000,
    price_per_unit=100,
    variable_cost_per_unit=60
)
print(f"Break-even units: {breakeven['units']}")
