Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
Total return tells you how much an investment grew overall, but it hides timing. A 100% gain in eight years is very different from 100% in two. The compound annual growth rate converts any multi-year outcome into the single steady rate that would produce the same result.
CAGR smooths over volatility — a fund that swings up and down still gets one clean number. It also ignores contributions and withdrawals, so it best describes buy-and-hold positions without cash flowing in or out.
