## Frequently asked questions

### How is training ROI calculated?

A common estimate is net benefit divided by total training cost, multiplied by 100. Net benefit is the monetized annual benefit attributable to training minus the complete cost of the initiative.

### Which costs should be included?

Include tuition or vendor fees, paid learning time, administration, technology, travel where relevant and the opportunity cost of time away from normal work.

### Is a positive estimate proof that training caused the result?

No. It is a planning estimate. A stronger evaluation compares a baseline with post-training performance and separates training effects from seasonality, process changes and other investments.
