What is a CAGR Calculator?

A CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) Calculator finds the steady annual growth rate that takes an investment from a starting value to an ending value over a given period. It is the standard metric for comparing investment performance across different asset classes and time frames.

How to Use It

  1. 1Enter the initial investment value
  2. 2Enter the final value after growth
  3. 3Enter the number of years
  4. 4View the CAGR percentage — the equivalent annual return over the period
  5. 5Or use reverse mode: enter a target CAGR to find the required future value

Example

Portfolio value grew from ₹5,00,000 in 2019 to ₹9,50,000 in 2024 (5 years). CAGR = (9,50,000 / 5,00,000)^(1/5) − 1 = 13.7% per year. This is better than FD (7%) but below a top large-cap fund (15%).

Why Use It

  • Compare investment performance across different assets on a fair annual basis
  • Evaluate mutual fund or stock portfolio returns vs benchmarks
  • Set realistic return expectations for financial planning
  • Calculate the growth rate of business revenue or any metric over time
