Calculate your scenario

Enter the starting investment or business value.
Enter the value at the end of the period.
Fractional years are supported.

How CAGR is calculated

CAGR = (Ending value ÷ Beginning value)1 ÷ years − 1. It converts the total change into an equivalent compounded annual growth rate.

CAGR is most appropriate when comparing a beginning and ending value over time. For investments with irregular dated cash flows, use the XIRR Calculator instead.
