FAQ

Can CAGR be negative?

Yes, if the final value is lower than the initial value.

Can I use months instead of years?

Convert the period into years (e.g., 18 months = 1.5 years).

What if the initial value is zero?

CAGR is undefined when the starting value is zero.

Additional Information

  • Formula: CAGR = [(Final ÷ Initial)^(1/Years) − 1] × 100.
  • CAGR smooths out growth rates to a yearly average.
  • Values must be positive and initial cannot be zero.
