How it works
CAGR is the steady yearly rate that would take the start value to the end value. It smooths out the ups and downs in between, which makes it useful for comparing investments over different periods; it is not the return of any single year.
Formula
CAGR = (end / start)^(1 / years) - 1
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate CAGR?
Divide the end value by the start value, raise it to the power of 1 divided by the years, and subtract 1.
What is the difference between CAGR and absolute return?
Absolute return is the total change; CAGR spreads it into a yearly rate.
Is CAGR the same as XIRR?
For a single investment and a single redemption, yes. With several dated cash flows use XIRR.
