CAGR calculator
CAGR is the steady yearly growth rate that takes a value from its start to its end. Enter the start value, end value and years, or use the other modes to find an ending value or the time needed.
CAGR smooths growth into one steady yearly rate. It ignores the ups and downs along the way, and past growth does not predict future returns.
How it works
- Choose what to find.
- Enter the values.
- Read the CAGR, total growth or result.
The formula
CAGR equals the ending value divided by the starting value, raised to the power of one over the years, minus one.
Why use it
It smooths uneven growth into one rate, which makes investments, sales and users easy to compare.
Ending value mode
Enter a start value, a yearly rate and the years to see the final value.
Years mode
Enter a start, an end and a rate to see how long growth takes.
Questions
