About CAGR Calculator (Compound Annual Growth Rate)
The CAGR Calculator calculates the smoothed geometric annual growth rate of an investment or business metric over multiple years, dampening annual market volatility into a standardized yearly rate.
Formula & Mathematical Calculation
CAGR (%) = [ ( Ending Value / Beginning Value )^(1 / Years) - 1 ] × 100
