CAGR Calculator (compound annual growth rate)
Find the yearly compound growth rate of an investment, sales or a business. Enter the start value, end value and years.
Quick answer
₹1 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh in 5 years: CAGR 20.11 %.
How it is calculated
- CAGR = (end value ÷ start value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1.
- (2,50,000 ÷ 1,00,000)^(1/5) − 1 = 0.2011.
- Multiply by 100: 20.11% a year.
Worked example
An investment of ₹1,00,000 became ₹2,50,000 in 5 years. Its compound growth was 20.11 % a year.
| Start value | ₹1,00,000 |
| End value | ₹2,50,000 |
| Years | 5 |
| CAGR | 20.11 % |
Formula
CAGR = ((B/A)^(1/Y)-1)×100
Good to know
- CAGR hides the ups and downs in between; it shows the smooth average.
- Total return here is 150%, but the yearly CAGR is about 20%.
