CAGR
14.87%
A CAGR of 14.87% is the constant yearly rate connecting ₹1,00,000.00 to ₹2,00,000.00. It does not mean the value changed by that rate in every individual year.
How CAGR is calculated
CAGR uses one constant annualised rate to connect the beginning and ending values across the entered period. It does not mean the investment actually earned that return in every individual year.
Important assumptions
- CAGR smooths the full period into one annualised rate and does not show year-to-year volatility.
