CAGR = [(Ending value ÷ Beginning value)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1] × 100The calculation links Initial value ($), Final value ($) and Number of years to compound annual growth rate. CAGR smooths the path between two endpoints. A steady reported rate can conceal large gains and losses in individual years.
Enter Initial value ($), Final value ($) and Number of years to review compound annual growth rate with this tool. CAGR smooths the path between two endpoints.
Find the constant annual growth rate that connects a beginning value to an ending value over a specified number of years. Use it to summarize multi-year change.
CAGR smooths the path between two endpoints. A steady reported rate can conceal large gains and losses in individual years.
Prepare Initial value ($), Final value ($) and Number of years. Use comparable beginning and ending values, exclude added capital and enter the elapsed years rather than the number of calendar labels.
CAGR smooths the path between two endpoints. A steady reported rate can conceal large gains and losses in individual years. The endpoint formula does not account for external deposits or withdrawals and requires a positive starting value and a meaningful time interval.
Use the full settings in the worked-example table. They produce Compound Annual Growth Rate: 20.11. Compare the method and units as well as the displayed number.
The displayed relationship is CAGR = [(Ending value ÷ Beginning value)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1] × 100 Use comparable beginning and ending values, exclude added capital and enter the elapsed years rather than the number of calendar labels.
The endpoint formula does not account for external deposits or withdrawals and requires a positive starting value and a meaningful time interval. Check the original measurement, source data and the convention required by the task.
Worked cagr calculator example. Set Initial value ($) = 10000; Final value ($) = 25000; Number of years = 5. The corresponding output is Compound Annual Growth Rate: 20.11. CAGR smooths the path between two endpoints.

Relationship used for this example: CAGR = [(Ending value ÷ Beginning value)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1] × 100
CAGR smooths the path between two endpoints. A steady reported rate can conceal large gains and losses in individual years.
| Output | Displayed result |
|---|---|
| Compound Annual Growth Rate | 20.11 |
With these settings, compound annual growth rate is 20.11. Use the same units and calculation mode when reproducing this example.
CAGR smooths the path between two endpoints. A steady reported rate can conceal large gains and losses in individual years. The endpoint formula does not account for external deposits or withdrawals and requires a positive starting value and a meaningful time interval.
Replace the illustrative initial value ($) value (10000) with your own value, then complete the other inputs for the same scenario. Use comparable beginning and ending values, exclude added capital and enter the elapsed years rather than the number of calendar labels.
