How it is calculated
Total return = (final − initial) ÷ initial × 100; CAGR = ((final ÷ initial)^(1÷years) − 1) × 100
CAGR smooths the whole holding period into one annual rate, which is what you compare across investments.
Worked example
₹1,00,000 growing to ₹1,85,000 over 4 years is an 85% total return, a 1.85× multiple, and a CAGR of about 16.6% per year.
Questions people ask
An 85% gain sounds different over 4 years than over 10. CAGR converts both into a per-year rate so you can compare them fairly.
No, it assumes one lump sum. For monthly contributions use the SIP calculator instead.
No, the result is a nominal return. Subtract the inflation rate roughly to see the real return on your purchasing power.
