How we calculate

CAGR is computed as ((FV / BV)^(1/t)) - 1. Time is converted to years based on your selected unit. When solving for time or values, we rearrange the formula accordingly.

Quick Answer

CAGR is the constant annual growth rate that takes an investment from its beginning value to its final value over a time period. It is calculated as ((Final / Beginning)^(1 / Years) - 1).

Key Facts

  • CAGR smooths returns into a single annual rate
  • Use time in years for CAGR; convert other units to years
  • Total return = (Final - Beginning) / Beginning
  • Effective annual rate equals the CAGR when compounding annually

Frequently Asked Questions

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the constant annual rate needed for an investment to grow from its beginning value to its ending value over a set period.

Enter your current balance as the beginning value, your goal balance as the final value, set the time horizon, and solve for CAGR to see the required annual growth rate.

Total return measures the overall percentage gain. CAGR annualizes that growth and shows the smoothed yearly rate assuming steady compounding.
