CAGR Calculator
Find the Compound Annual Growth Rate of any investment — or flip it around to project future value at a given growth rate.
Why CAGR is a better measure than simple returns
If your portfolio grew from Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 2,50,000 over 5 years, the absolute return is 150% — but that number doesn't tell you how the investment performed per year. CAGR smooths out the year-to-year volatility and gives you a single annualised rate that represents the steady growth needed to reach the same endpoint.
In this case, the CAGR is approximately 20.11% per year — a much more useful number for comparing against fixed deposits, mutual funds, or other benchmarks.
Use the Find Future Value mode to run scenarios: if NEPSE historically averages 12% CAGR, what would Rs. 5,00,000 be worth in 10 years?
CAGR formula
CAGR = (Final Value ÷ Initial Value)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1
Future Value = Initial Value × (1 + CAGR)^Years
