Formula: $\text{CAGR} = \left(\frac{\text{Final Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}} – 1$
Where n = Number of years

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Why is CAGR preferred over absolute returns?

CAGR accounts for the time value of money and compounding effects, whereas absolute returns only measure total percentage growth without regard to duration.

Q2. Can CAGR be negative?

Yes, if your final investment value is lower than your initial capital, the CAGR will register a negative percentage.
