How it works
CAGR is the single yearly rate that would take you from the start value to the end value if the growth were smooth.
CAGR = (End ÷ Start)1 ÷ years − 1
End = Start × (1 + CAGR)years
Years = ln(End ÷ Start) ÷ ln(1 + CAGR)
Real investments rise and fall. CAGR hides that and it also ignores money added or withdrawn in between, so use it for a lump sum held for a period, not for a SIP.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good CAGR?
It depends on the asset and the time. Compare it with inflation and with the return you could have got from a safe option such as a fixed deposit.
Can CAGR be negative?
Yes. If the end value is lower than the start value the growth rate is negative.
Is anything sent anywhere?
No. It all runs in your browser.
