Annualized endpoint growth

CAGR Calculator

Calculate the smoothed annualized rate connecting a beginning value and ending value over a selected number of years.

Enter endpoint values

Enter values and select Calculate.

CAGR formula

CAGR = (ending value ÷ beginning value)1 ÷ years − 1. The calculator requires a positive beginning value, nonnegative ending value, and positive elapsed time.

CAGR versus total change

Total percentage change measures the entire endpoint difference. CAGR is the constant compounded annual rate that mathematically connects those endpoints. It is not an arithmetic average, forecast, or guaranteed return.

Worked example

Growth from 10,000 to 20,000 over 10 years produces a CAGR of approximately 7.1773%, while total change is 100%.

Calculation boundaries

Results depend on the values entered and provide arithmetic estimates only. They do not retrieve listings, market prices, approval rules, investment data, vehicle data, fuel prices, routes, or professional advice.
