CAGR smooths uneven yearly returns into one comparable yearly rate. Use it for investments, revenue growth or user growth.

Quick answer

CAGR = (ending value ÷ starting value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1. ₹1,00,000 growing to ₹2,00,000 in 5 years is a CAGR of about 14.87%.

How to use the CAGR Calculator

  1. Enter the starting value.
  2. Enter the ending value.
  3. Enter the number of years.
  4. Read the CAGR and absolute return.

Worked example

₹50,000 to ₹80,000 in 3 years: CAGR = (1.6)^(1/3) − 1 ≈ 16.96%.

Formula

CAGR = (End ÷ Start)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1

Frequently asked questions

Is CAGR the same as average annual return?
