What is CAGR? The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the average annual return on an investment, assuming gains are reinvested.
It is useful for comparing investments of different durations and for stripping out annual volatility to see the underlying trend.

In finance, intuition tends to mislead. If you gain 50% one year and lose 50% the next, your arithmetic average return is 0% — but you have actually lost money (start with €100, rise to €150, then fall to €75).
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) or CAGR is the only honest measure of an investment's performance over time, because it smooths volatility and tells you how much your money really grew on an annual basis.
"Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas."
— Paul Samuelson (Nobel Prize in Economics)
Making 100% (doubling your money) sounds incredible. But if it took 20 years, your annual return is barely 3.5% — about the same as historical inflation.
This tool helps you put your results in perspective and compare them fairly (like for like) against indices such as the S&P 500, or against inflation.
