CAGR Formula:
CAGR = (Final Value / Initial Value) ^ (1 / Years) - 1
This gives the constant annual return rate that would take the initial value to the final value over the given period.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CAGR?▼
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) represents the rate at which an investment would have grown if it had grown at a steady rate each year. It smooths out volatility to give a single annualised return figure.
How is CAGR different from absolute return?▼
Absolute return shows the total percentage gain or loss regardless of time. CAGR annualises that return, making it comparable across investments of different durations. An investment that doubled in 3 years has a 100% absolute return but a 26% CAGR.
When should I use XIRR instead of CAGR?▼
Use CAGR for a single lump-sum investment. If you made multiple investments at different times (like SIPs), use XIRR instead — it accounts for the timing and size of each cash flow.
