CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) measures the average annual growth rate of an investment or metric over a period, assuming the growth compounds. The formula is CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/n) - 1, where n is the number of years. Unlike simple average growth, CAGR accounts for compounding effects and provides a smoothed annual rate.

CAGR is widely used in finance, business, and investing to compare performance across different time periods and investments. For example, if a stock goes from $100 to $200 in 5 years, the CAGR is 14.87% — meaning it grew as if it earned 14.87% every year. The year-by-year table shows the projected value at each year using this constant rate, which helps visualize the growth trajectory.
