What is CAGR?

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the rate at which an investment grows annually over a specified period, assuming profits are reinvested. It smooths out volatility to show consistent growth.

Formula

CAGR = [(Final Value / Initial Value)^(1 / Years)] - 1

Example

Investment: $10,000
Final Value: $25,000
Time: 5 years
CAGR: 20.11% per year
Total Growth: 150%

When to Use CAGR

  • Compare investment performance
  • Evaluate mutual funds or stocks
  • Measure business revenue growth
  • Assess real estate appreciation
