CAGR calculator

The yearly growth rate between two values.

CAGR

20.11%

₹1,00,000 to ₹2,50,000 in 5 years

Absolute return: 150%
Gain: ₹1,50,000

CAGR is the constant yearly rate that would take you from the start value to the end value. Real investments never grow this smoothly; CAGR describes the journey, it doesn't tell you how bumpy it was.

The smooth path CAGR assumes

What this calculates

Compound Annual Growth Rate is the constant yearly rate that takes an investment from its starting value to its ending value over a period.

How it's calculated

CAGR = (FV ÷ PV)^(1 ÷ n) − 1

FV: final value
PV: initial value
n: number of years

Questions about this tool

Use CAGR to compare investments held for different lengths of time. Absolute return ignores time.

No. SIPs have many cash flows on different dates. Use XIRR for those.
