Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ROI and CAGR?

ROI is the total percentage gain over the whole period. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) expresses that as a smooth yearly rate, so you can compare investments of different lengths.

How is CAGR calculated?

CAGR = (final ÷ initial)^(1 ÷ years) − 1. It assumes profits compound each year at the same rate.
