Compound annual growth rate
Find the constant annual growth rate between two positive values.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
CAGR = (ending value / starting value)^(1/years) − 1. Requires positive endpoints and a positive duration. It smooths variation between endpoints and assumes no intermediate contributions or withdrawals; it does not measure investment risk.
