Find the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of an investment, stock, fund or business from its start value, end value and period.
CAGR = (Ending value ÷ Starting value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1
CAGR is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the ending value. It smooths out the ups and downs, which makes it the standard way to compare stocks, mutual funds and revenue growth over different periods.
Amounts are shown without a currency symbol, so the calculator works for any currency: enter all values in the same one.
It depends on the asset and the risk. Compare with a benchmark over the same period, such as a broad market index for a stock fund or the inflation rate for savings.
Yes. Enter the period as a decimal: 18 months is 1.5 years, 30 months is 2.5 years.
It hides volatility. Two investments with the same CAGR can have very different year-by-year swings, and CAGR ignores money added or withdrawn along the way.
