Compound annual growth.

Usage Tip

CAGR lets you compare growth over different time spans on an equal, per-year footing.

THE MATH
CAGR = (ending ÷ beginning)^(1 ÷ years) − 1
The steady yearly rate matching the total change
CAGR is the constant annual rate that would grow the starting value to the ending value over the period.
It smooths out the ups and downs into one representative yearly figure.
All three values must be positive.
CAGR assumes steady compounding, not the actual year-by-year path.
This is a descriptive growth metric, not investment advice.
