How it works
- Enter the starting value, the final value and the number of years.
- CAGR = (final ÷ start)^(1 ÷ years) − 1.
- Absolute return is the total change, without spreading it over years.
FAQ
CAGR vs absolute return?
Absolute return is the total gain (for example 100% in 5 years). CAGR spreads it into an equal yearly rate (about 14.9% a year in that example).
Does CAGR show risk?
No. Two investments can have the same CAGR with very different ups and downs. Look at drawdown too.
