SuperCalc

Compute total growth and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from an initial value, a final value and the number of periods. The tool shows both overall growth percentage and CAGR, with clear formulas and example defaults so you can quickly validate assumptions and compare scenarios.

Growth Inputs

$

Starting value or revenue

$

Ending value or revenue

Time between initial and final value

CAGR Formula:

CAGR = (Final ÷ Initial)^(1/n) - 1

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between total growth and CAGR?

Total growth = (Final − Initial) ÷ Initial.

CAGR is the constant rate that takes Initial to Final over n periods: CAGR = (Final ÷ Initial)^(1/n) − 1.

CAGR smooths uneven growth across periods.

What inputs are required?

Provide the Initial value, Final value, and the number of periods (n).

The calculator outputs total growth percentage and CAGR percentage so you can compare products, portfolios or time ranges on a like‑for‑like basis.

How does the calculator handle zero or negative values?

The tool treats negative or invalid inputs as zero for stability and requires n ≥ 1.

If Initial is zero, total growth and CAGR are reported as 0 to avoid division by zero.
