How to use Annualized Return Calculator

CAGR equals ((ending value ÷ starting value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1) × 100. It expresses an equivalent smooth annual growth rate between two endpoints.

  1. Enter starting value, ending value, elapsed years.
  2. Check that the input follows the stated limits and uses consistent units.
  3. Run the calculator, review the result, then copy or download it.

Good to know

  • Starting value and years must be positive; ending value can be zero. No intermediate deposits, withdrawals, or cash-flow timing are supported.
  • Decimal inputs have at most 120 characters and magnitude from 1e-100 to 1e15, or zero. Floating-point results are rounded to 12 significant digits; extreme derived results may underflow or be rejected. Exact integer results are identified separately.
  • Educational estimate with user-entered assumptions, not a quote or financial/tax advice. Rates are hypothetical, fixed, and not fetched. Fees, taxes, inflation, payment-day conventions, and currency rules are excluded unless explicitly entered.

Common questions

What calculation does Annualized Return Calculator perform?

CAGR equals ((ending value ÷ starting value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1) × 100. It expresses an equivalent smooth annual growth rate between two endpoints.

Does CAGR show actual year-by-year returns?

No. Different paths can have the same starting value, ending value, and CAGR.
