Was this tool helpful?

Enter the starting value and the ending value.
Enter the number of years, or pick the two dates.
Read the compound annual growth rate, the total return and how many times the money multiplied.

Switch to Future value to see what an amount grows to at a given yearly rate.

CAGR = (ending value ÷ starting value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1. Doubling your money in 5 years is a CAGR of 14.87%.

Why use CAGR instead of the average yearly return?

CAGR is the steady yearly rate that gets you from start to end. A simple average of yearly returns overstates growth when returns go up and down.

Does CAGR include money added along the way?

No. It assumes a single starting amount. For regular investments, the SIP calculator is a better fit.

How are dates turned into years?

Whole years, plus the remaining days as a fraction of the next year, so leap years are counted correctly.
