CAGR is the steady yearly rate that would turn your investment into its final value over the same period. Use it to compare a lumpsum investment with an FD or an index fund. For SIPs, use XIRR instead.
Illustrative only, based on the rates you enter; returns are not guaranteed. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

The formula
Absolute return = (FV − PV) / PV. CAGR = (FV / PV)^(1/t) − 1.
Questions
Absolute return ignores time. CAGR spreads the growth evenly across each year, which makes investments of different lengths comparable.
