Frequently asked questions
How is CAGR calculated?
CAGR = (ending value ÷ beginning value)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, expressed as a percentage — the steady annual rate that links the two values.
Why does CAGR differ from total growth?
Total growth is the overall change from start to end, while CAGR smooths that change into one equivalent yearly rate, accounting for compounding across the years.
