How to Use the CAGR Calculator

The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) calculator helps you determine the mean annual growth rate of an investment over a specified time period longer than one year.

Steps to Use the Calculator:

1. Enter the Beginning Value

• Input the initial value of your investment (in ₹) in the "Beginning Value" field
• Example: If you invested ₹10,000 initially, enter 10000

1. Enter the Ending Value

• Input the final value of your investment (in ₹) in the "Ending Value" field
• Example: If your investment grew to ₹19,500, enter 19500

1. Enter the Number of Years

• Input the time period (in years) over which the growth occurred
• Example: If this growth happened over 5 years, enter 5

1. Click "Calculate CAGR"

• The calculator will compute and display your annualized growth rate

Example Calculation:

• Beginning Value: ₹10,000
• Ending Value: ₹19,500
• Years: 5
• CAGR Result: ~14.30% (meaning your investment grew at an average rate of 14.30% per year)

Important Notes:

• The calculator automatically clears all fields when you reload the page
• All fields must contain valid numbers
• The number of years must be greater than zero
• The result is displayed as a percentage with two decimal places

This tool is particularly useful for comparing the performance of different investments over time, regardless of their volatility.
