How it works
When to use it
- Find the compound annual growth rate of revenue, users or GDP.
- Compare growth over different time spans.
Formula
Total growth = (end − start) ÷ |start| × 100%Average growth = (end ÷ start)^(1 ÷ periods) − 1Periods are intervals: 2021 to 2024 is 3, not 4.
Worked example
Given: Start 100, end 150 after 3 periods
- Total = 50%.
- Average = 1.5^(1/3) − 1 ≈ 14.47%.
- Check: 100 × 1.1447³ ≈ 150.
Result: 50% total, about 14.47% per period.
Reading the result
- Compound growth is more accurate than 50% ÷ 3 ≈ 16.67%.
Limitations
- Undefined when start and end have different signs.
- Ignores what happened in between.
How to use
- 1Enter the starting and ending values.
- 2Enter the number of periods (years, months…).
- 3Read the total growth and the compound rate.
FAQ
How is CAGR calculated?
CAGR = (end ÷ start)^(1 ÷ periods) − 1. Growing from 1000 to 1500 over 3 years is about 14.47% per year.
Why not divide total growth by the years?
Growth compounds, so a simple average overstates the yearly rate. CAGR gives the steady rate that produces the same result.
