CAGR Calculator
Find the compound annual growth rate of an investment.
Growth as one clean number
An investment that jumps and dips is hard to judge from raw returns. CAGR collapses the whole journey into the single steady annual rate that would produce the same result, which makes comparisons fair.
Growing 10,000 into 25,000 over five years is a CAGR of about 20.1% a year. It is the standard way funds and businesses report growth over multiple periods.
