What is a CAGR Calculator?
A CAGR calculator calculates the Compound Annual Growth Rate. Unlike absolute returns which only show total percentage gained, CAGR smooths out volatility and shows exactly what your investment grew by, on average, every single year.
CAGR vs XIRR
Only use a CAGR calculator if you made a one-time lump-sum investment. If you are doing a monthly Mutual Fund SIP, you must use an XIRR Calculator because the timing of your varied cash flows completely changes the math.
