Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
CAGR smooths annual growth over years, assuming compounding. It is end divided by start to the power of one over years, minus one. Total return is simple percent change.
Use CAGR to compare investments with different horizons. It hides volatility — two investments with same CAGR can have very different risk.
For YMYL investment comparisons, pair CAGR with volatility and drawdown, not alone. Past CAGR does not guarantee future.
Calculate CAGR from start and end values over years — see annual growth rate, total return and doubling time. Formula: CAGR = (end/start)^(1/years) -1. Example: With $10k to $25k in 5 years: total return 150%, CAGR about 20.11% per year, doubling time about 3.6 years at that rate.
