Formula and method
CAGR = [(ending value/beginning value)^(1/years) − 1] × 100.
Worked example
A value rising from 100 to 121 in two years has CAGR 10%, because 100 × 1.1² = 121.

A constant annual rate connecting endpoints, not a history of yearly returns. Deposits and withdrawals distort this calculation; use cash-flow methods for investments with additional flows.
How this was calculated
CAGR = [(ending value ÷ beginning value)^(1/years) − 1] × 100.

Frequently asked questions
Can CAGR handle deposits and withdrawals?
Not by itself. Extra cash flows change the endpoint without representing investment return. Use IRR or another cash-flow-aware method.
