1. What is CAGR?

The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is a measure of the mean annual growth rate of an investment over a specified time period longer than one year. It represents one of the most accurate ways to calculate and determine returns for individual assets, investment portfolios, and anything that can rise or fall in value over time.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the CAGR equation:

\[ CAGR = \left(\frac{End}{Start}\right)^{\frac{1}{Years}} - 1 \]

Where:

\( Start \) — Initial value (MYR)
\( End \) — Ending value (MYR)
\( Years \) — Investment period in years

Explanation: The equation calculates the constant rate of return that would be required for an investment to grow from its initial balance to its ending balance, given the number of years.

3. Importance of CAGR Calculation

Details: CAGR is particularly useful for comparing growth rates from different investments or business metrics over multiple time periods. It smooths the progress of growth and makes it easier to compare different investments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the start value and end value in MYR (Malaysian Ringgit), and the time period in years. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why use CAGR instead of average growth rate?
A: CAGR accounts for compounding effect over time, while average growth rate does not. CAGR provides a smoother annual growth rate.

Q2: What are typical CAGR values for businesses in Malaysia?
A: This varies by industry, but a healthy business might show 5-15% CAGR over several years. High-growth sectors may show higher CAGRs.

Q3: Can CAGR be negative?
A: Yes, if the ending value is less than the starting value, CAGR will be negative, indicating a decline over the period.

Q4: What are limitations of CAGR?
A: CAGR doesn't account for volatility - it assumes smooth growth. Two investments with the same CAGR may have very different risk profiles.

Q5: How is CAGR useful for sales analysis?
A: It helps businesses understand their sales growth trajectory, compare performance across periods, and set realistic growth targets.
