FAQ

## About this calculator

**What does CAGR tell me?**

The constant yearly rate that would produce the same total growth. Real growth is rarely smooth, so CAGR is a summary, not a prediction.

**Can CAGR be negative?**

Yes. If the ending value is lower than the starting value the rate is negative, which means a yearly decline.

**Why do I need positive values?**

The formula uses a ratio and a root, which need positive numbers.

**Is anything saved?**

No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.

**Is this tax or financial advice?**

No. It is a calculator for general information. Check the numbers against your own records, and ask an accountant before you act on them.
