What this calculator helps you understand
Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is the annualized rate that links a starting value to an ending value over a specified period. It smooths the result into a single annual rate.

Open calculator ↗How to use the result
Change one assumption at a time and compare the outcome. Use conservative, base and optimistic assumptions rather than relying on a single forecast.
Important assumptions and limitations
CAGR does not show volatility, interim losses, cash flows, deposits or withdrawals. For investments with multiple cash flows, an XIRR-style calculation may be more appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Are the results guaranteed?
No. Results are estimates based on the values entered and simplified assumptions. They are not forecasts or guarantees.
Are taxes and fees included?
No. Unless a calculator explicitly asks for a fee or tax input, those costs are excluded. Rules vary by country and product.
