How to use CAGR Calculator

On RupeeStart (calculator-sip.net), this CAGR calculator is built for beginners starting a monthly SIP with small amounts. Monthly SIP basics, rupee-cost averaging, and first-year examples. Beginner-friendly monthly SIP education and examples.

What CAGR means

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the constant yearly rate that grows a starting value into an ending value over a number of years.

Formula: CAGR = (Ending ÷ Starting)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1. It ignores interim volatility and cash flows.

Worked example

₹1,00,000 growing to ₹2,50,000 in 5 years is roughly a 20.1% CAGR. Absolute gain is ₹1,50,000, but CAGR lets you compare with other multi-year investments.

For SIP or irregular deposits, prefer XIRR instead of plain CAGR.

When to use CAGR

Use CAGR to compare mutual funds, stocks, or a lumpsum portfolio over the same horizon.

Do not treat past CAGR as a guarantee of future returns—always stress-test with lower growth assumptions.

Figures on RupeeStart are estimates for education only—not financial, tax, or investment advice. Confirm rates, fees, and terms with your lender or fund house.

Commonly Asked Questions

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the steady yearly growth rate that would take an investment from its starting value to its ending value over a given period, assuming profits are reinvested.

CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/Years) − 1. It smooths volatility into one annualized percentage.

No. Absolute return is the total gain or loss over the whole period. CAGR annualizes that growth so you can compare investments held for different durations.

Use CAGR to compare mutual funds, stocks, or portfolios over multi-year periods. For irregular cash flows (multiple SIPs), XIRR is usually more accurate.
