How It's Calculated

Common Questions

What is the CAGR formula?

CAGR = (value now ÷ value at the start)^(1 ÷ years) − 1. Doubling in 5 years is a CAGR of about 14.87%.

CAGR or absolute return?

Absolute return is the total change, whatever the time. CAGR spreads it over the years, so a 100% gain over 5 years and over 10 years read very differently.

Is CAGR right for a SIP?

No. CAGR fits one amount put in once. For money put in over time, such as a SIP, use XIRR.
