Use CalculatorCAGR Calculator
Find the steady yearly growth rate that would take a starting value to an ending value over a given period.
How it works
Divide the ending value by the beginning value to get the growth multiple.
Raise it to the power of 1 ÷ years and subtract 1 to get the annualized rate.
The chart shows a smooth illustrative path at that rate.
Formula & methodology
CAGR = (Ending ÷ Beginning)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1
Total growth = Ending ÷ Beginning − 1.
CAGR ignores the timing of deposits or withdrawals.
Illustrative example
$10,000 growing to $18,000 in 5 years
The growth multiple is 1.8×, or 80% total growth.
CAGR = 1.8^(1/5) − 1 ≈ 12.47% per year.
