To calculate the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), follow these steps:
Find the beginning and ending values: Determine the initial value of your investment or asset (beginning value) and its final value (ending value) after a specific period.
Calculate the total return: Subtract the beginning value from the ending value to find the total return or total growth of the investment.
Total Return = Ending Value – Beginning Value
Determine the number of periods: Identify the number of periods (usually years) over which the investment grew. For example, if you’re analyzing a 5-year investment, there are 5 periods.
Calculate the CAGR: Use the formula:
CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1 / Number of Periods) – 1
Where:
Convert to percentage: Multiply the result by 100 to express the CAGR as a percentage.
