About This Calculator

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) smooths out year-to-year volatility to show the steady rate an investment would have needed to grow from its starting value to its ending value. It's the standard way to compare investment performance across different time periods.

CAGR = (ending ÷ starting)^(1/years) − 1; real CAGR = (1 + CAGR) ÷ (1 + inflation) − 1; net gain = ending − starting
