Return on Time Invested (ROTI) is a subjective metric used to amaylze the productivity and efficieny of time spent for a certain activity, project, or product made. Unlike return on investment (ROI), which calculates the financial capital gained, ROTI evaluates the value gained from time spent on an activity compared to the time invested in it.[citation needed] While the criterions for how worth was the time spent are subjective to different companies and organization, the main ones include information sharing, decision making, problem solving and work planning.[citation needed]

Calculation

Specific calculation of ROTI can vary depending on the context, a general (Value of Outcomes / Time Invested) x 100 formula can be expressed as: ROTI = Total value or Output obtained / Total time invested.[citation needed]
