How these calculators work

Commodity and metals ROI calculators

Commodities—including precious metals, energy, and selected agricultural contracts—often act as portfolio diversifiers. This hub (served at /commodities) provides free ROI calculators for gold, silver, oil, natural gas, wheat, and related instruments using historical daily prices.

Each instrument page lets you test a notional holding period, view profit and ROI, and follow links to compare or macro context pages when available. Futures roll, storage, and contango are not fully modeled; treat output as an educational approximation of price change only.

Precious metals vs energy vs agriculture

Gold and silver are common inflation and risk-off references. Energy contracts (WTI, Brent, natural gas) respond to supply shocks. Agriculture tags (wheat, corn) illustrate seasonal assets. Use filters to browse by group.

Pair with indexes and crypto

Investors often compare gold to Bitcoin or the S&P 500. Use Compare performance for side-by-side charts, or open index and crypto hubs for related benchmarks.
