What is the CAGR Calculator? A CAGR calculator turns a starting and ending value into the steady yearly growth rate that connects them, so investments held for different periods can be compared fairly.
How to use the CAGR Calculator
- Enter the starting value of the investment.
- Enter the ending value.
- Enter how many years it took.
- Read the CAGR, the absolute return and the time to double.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between CAGR and absolute return?
Absolute return is the total percentage gain. CAGR spreads it into a steady yearly rate, so investments held for different periods can be compared.
Should I use CAGR for SIPs?
No. CAGR assumes one investment at the start. For SIPs or irregular investments, use XIRR.
