CAGR smooths uneven real-world growth into one annualized rate, which makes multi-year comparisons cleaner than a simple total return percentage.

Example calculation

These examples show how CAGR turns multi-year growth into a cleaner annualized rate for side-by-side comparison.

Example 1

If an investment grows from 100,000 to 175,000 over 5 years, CAGR shows the annualized rate that links those two values.

Example 2

Use CAGR to compare investments with different time spans without relying on raw total return alone.

CAGR Calculator FAQ

Why use CAGR instead of total return?

CAGR smooths the growth into a yearly rate, which makes it easier to compare results across periods of different lengths.

Does CAGR mean the investment grew evenly every year?

No. CAGR is an annualized average rate for comparison, not a statement that real-world returns were identical each year.
