How the Calculation Works
Computes geometric annual growth rate over multiple intervals.
Formula: CAGR = (End / Start)^(1 / Years) - 1
Practical Worked Example
Given Inputs: 50k to 175k in 5 years
Calculated Output: CAGR: 28.47% per year
- (175,000 / 50,000)^(1/5) - 1 = 28.47%.
Pro Tip: CAGR smooths out volatility; it tells you what the growth rate would have been if the investment had grown at a steady rate.
