# What is MOIC?

Multiple on Invested Capital: total value, meaning cash returned plus what is still held, divided by the amount invested. It counts paper value as well as cash, so part of a high figure may never be paid out.

## In real work

Yusuf's $20,000 stake in the payroll startup is now marked at $60,000, a MOIC of 3, though no cash has come back to him yet.
