About the CAGR Calculator

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the steady yearly rate that would take a value from its start to its end over a period. It smooths out ups and downs, making it ideal for comparing investments, business growth or sales.

Formula

CAGR = (end ÷ start)1/years − 1. Growing from 100 to 200 in 5 years is a CAGR of about 14.9%.

Good to know

CAGR hides volatility; the real path may have included big swings.
