Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the single annual rate at which an investment would have grown to its final value over the period — the smoothed yearly return that makes different investments comparable regardless of how long they were held. This calculator computes CAGR from a start value, an end value and the number of years, and shows the wealth multiplier and yearly milestones.
CAGR is more meaningful than total return for judging performance, because it normalises for time: a 100% total gain is excellent over two years and mediocre over twenty, and CAGR captures that difference in one figure. Comparing your CAGR against a benchmark index or a fixed-deposit baseline shows whether the investment actually earned its risk.
It runs in your browser, so your figures stay private. Note that CAGR describes an average smoothed rate; actual year-to-year returns will have varied around it.
