# Cumulative Return

Cumulative Return is the total return since the first Account Balance entry, adjusted for deposits/withdrawals.

**Today's Cumulative Return = (1 + Yesterday's Cumulative Return) \* (1 + Today's Daily Return) - 1**

*For example:* If your Cumulative Return yesterday was 10%, and today's Daily Return is 2%, today's Cumulative Return would be 12.2%.
