How well are your investments performing? Our calculator computes both simple ROI and CAGR, helping you compare different investments and understand your portfolio's true performance over time.
ROI measures the total percentage gain or loss on an investment. CAGR provides the annualized growth rate, smoothing out volatility to show what steady annual return would have produced the same result. CAGR is especially useful for comparing investments of different durations.
