How do I calculate the Investment Performance KPIs (Total Investment Cost, ROI, Losses by Injury, Untapped)?
This article explains the different calculations and formulas used in the Finance Overview modules (Financial Performance KPIs).
The section in mention showcases the player's:
- Total Investment Cost – The total cost of the player for the club, including transfer fees, agent fees, bonuses (player and agent), and benefits. This value takes into consideration all past contracts for the players.
- Return on Investment (ROI) – The return gained from the player’s purchase is based on game participation.
- Losses by Injury – The amount lost due to the player being unavailable for games due to injury.
- Untapped – The amount lost when the player is available but not participating in games for external reasons.
- Residual ROI – The remaining potential profit, considering the player’s cost, achieved ROI, losses by injury, and untapped amounts.
- *You will find the formulas available at the bottom of the article.
These calculations can be simulated in three ways by clicking the settings icon (top right corner), as well as by simulating it by the expected matches per season:
- Current Season – Based on current season values.
- Current Contract – Based on the player’s active contract.
- Player History – Covers the player's entire time at the club (including multiple contracts).

Finally, if you have set up the Finance Thresholds (accessible through Admin > Squads > Player Profile), you will also be able to see the alerts for the different KPIs based on the threshold values applied.
Below, you will find the actual formulas used for each calculation:
- Total Investment Cost - Transfer Fee + Inward Agent Fee + Fixed Wage + Employment Agent Fee + Bonus Won + Benefits
- Example:
- Agent Fees: $ 5,500
- Benefits: $ 0
- Bonus Won: $ 1,500
- Transfer Fee: $ 0
- Wages: $ 122,745.82
- Total Investment Cost = $ 129,745.82
- Example:
- ROI % - Minutes played / All Game Minutes * 100
- Example:
- Available Played Minutes: 1682 minutes (sum of the minutes of the matches available from the beginning of the season - available within Manager > Tactics > Statistics).
- Available Fixture Minutes: 2100 minutes (sum of the minutes of the matches still to be played until the end of the contract, starting from the number of matches per season entered by the user - calculated by the simulated games added in the settings of the KPIs calculation mentioned above).
- All Game Minutes = 3782 minutes (sum of the available player minutes and the available fixture minutes).
- Minutes Played (by player) = 886 minutes (minutes played by the player in the season - Available within Players > My Team > Player Passport > Game Stats)
- ROI % = 23.3%
- Example:
- ROI – (Percentage Minutes ROI * Total Investment Cost) / 100
- Example :
- Percentage Minutes ROI: 23.3%
- Total Investment Cost: $ 129,745.82
- ROI = $ 30,230.77
- Example :
- Losses by Injury – Total Investment Cost * ((Game Minutes lost by Player due to Injury * 100) / All playable minutes in a season)
- Example:
- Total Investment Cost: $ 129,745.82
- Game Minutes Lost (Injury): 464 minutes
- Available Played Minutes: 1682 minutes
- Losses by Injury = $35,780.39
- Example:
- Untapped – Total Investment Cost * ((Game minutes lost by Player for no particular reason * 100) / All playable minutes in a season)
- Example:
- Total Investment Cost: $ 129,745.82
- Game Minutes Lost (No particular reason): minutes
- Available Played Minutes: 1682 minutes
- Utapped = $35,780.39
- Example:
- Residual ROI – Total Investment Cost - Untapped - ROI - Losses By Injury
- Example:
- Total Investment Cost: $ 42,000,000
- Untapped: $ 8,650,000
- ROI: $ 16,320,000
- Losses by Injury: $ 2,580,000
- Residual ROI = $ 15,250,00
