CAGR Calculator: yearly growth between two values
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the steady yearly rate at which an investment would have grown from a starting value to an ending value. It smooths out ups and downs, so it is easy to compare investments held over different periods.
How it is calculated
CAGR = (Ending value ÷ Starting value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1.
Worked example
₹1,00,000 growing to ₹2,50,000 in 7 years is a CAGR of about 14.0% a year.
Frequently asked questions
CAGR or XIRR?
CAGR suits a single investment held over time. XIRR is better when money goes in at different dates, such as a SIP.
Does CAGR show the risk taken?
No. Two investments can have the same CAGR but very different ups and downs along the way.
