What is the CAGR Calculator?
A CAGR calculator works out the compound annual growth rate: the steady yearly rate at which something would have had to grow to get from its starting value to its ending value. Enter what an investment was worth at the start, what it is worth now and how many years passed, and it gives you a single yearly figure you can compare with an FD rate, an index or another fund.
Absolute return on its own can mislead: a 150% gain sounds impressive until you see it took ten years. CAGR puts every investment on the same yearly footing, so the calculator shows both side by side, along with how many times the money multiplied. It works for mutual funds, shares, property, gold or a business’s revenue, and runs entirely in your browser.
How to use it
- Enter the starting value.
- Enter the ending value.
- Enter the number of years between them; decimals are fine.
- Read the CAGR and the absolute return.
