About this calculator

CAGR smooths multi-year performance into one annualised figure — what steady rate would have taken you from start value to end value? It ignores volatility along the way but is the standard way to compare investments held for different durations.

Formula

CAGR = (End ÷ Begin)^(1/t) − 1

Frequently Asked Questions

CAGR vs XIRR?

CAGR suits single inflow/outflow pairs. When money enters at multiple dates (like SIPs), XIRR handles irregular cash flows and is the correct measure.

What is a good CAGR?

Beating long-term equity index CAGR (~12% for Nifty/Sensex historically) is respectable; beating inflation (~6%) preserves purchasing power.
