CAGR Calculator — FAQs
What is CAGR?
Compound Annual Growth Rate — the constant yearly growth rate that would take an investment from start to end value. It smooths out year-to-year volatility.
CAGR vs absolute returns?
Absolute return says ‘+80%’; CAGR says ‘+12.5%/year for 5 years’. The second lets you compare against FDs, inflation and other investments fairly.
What is a good CAGR?
For Indian equity: 12–15% over long periods is strong, 10–12% is reasonable for planning. Above 20% sustained usually means high risk or luck.
Does CAGR show volatility?
No — that’s its blind spot. Two investments with the same CAGR can have wildly different ride smoothness. Check max drawdown too.
