FAQ

Common Questions

Answers to common questions about Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), formulas, and limitations.

What is CAGR and how does it differ from absolute return?
CAGR is the annualized rate of compound growth, whereas absolute return shows total gain or loss from start to end without considering the length of time.
What is the mathematical formula for CAGR?
The CAGR formula is: (Ending Value / Starting Value)^(1 / Number of Years) - 1.
Can CAGR be negative?
Yes, if the ending value of your investment is lower than the starting value, the calculated CAGR will be a negative percentage, indicating annual loss.
Does CAGR account for intermediate cash inflows or outflows?
No, CAGR only considers beginning and ending values. For investments with ongoing deposits or withdrawals, IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is a more accurate metric.
Are my investment numbers private?
Yes. No portfolio details leave your device. The calculations are executed client-side in your local browser sandbox.
