Calculates the Compound Annual Growth Rate of an investment. Given a beginning value, an ending value, and the number of years, it returns the constant annual growth rate that would produce the final value.
Simple return figures don't capture how long an investment grew. CAGR smooths that fluctuation into one annual rate, so different investments and holding periods can be compared apples-to-apples.

What does CAGR mean?
The Compound Annual Growth Rate: the constant annual rate that grows the beginning value to the end value.
Is it the same as an average return?
No, it accounts for compounding and flattens volatility.
Can CAGR be negative?
Yes, if the ending value is below the beginning value.
Is my data stored?
No, everything runs in your browser.
Does CAGR account for risk?
No, it is a single growth rate; two investments with the same CAGR can have very different risk profiles.
Should I use CAGR or total return?
Use total return to see the headline gain, and CAGR to compare across different holding periods.
