CAGR calculator
A fund that doubled your money sounds great — but over 3 years or 12? The CAGR calculator turns any start and end value into the equivalent steady yearly growth rate, so you can fairly compare a stock, a mutual fund, a plot of land or your business's revenue. It also shows the absolute return, the growth multiple and how long money takes to double at that rate.
How to use it
- Enter the value at the start (what you invested, or last year's revenue).
- Enter the value at the end.
- Enter the number of years in between (decimals are fine, e.g. 2.5).
Formula
CAGR = (End ÷ Start)1 ÷ years − 1
Example
You bought a flat for ₹40 lakh in 2016 and it's worth ₹62 lakh in 2026. CAGR = (62 ÷ 40)1/10 − 1 ≈ 4.5% a year — before maintenance and taxes, and below what a simple index fund SIP has often returned. Investing every month instead? Use the XIRR calculator; projecting forward, the SIP calculator.
