Compound Annual Growth Rate

Compound annual growth rate is a business- and investing-specific term for the geometric progression ratio that provides a constant rate of return over the time period.

Compound annual growth rate increases as the ratio between the final investment value and initial investment value increases and as the time horizon decreases.

Formula

QuantityVariable["CAGR", "Unitless"] == -1 + (QuantityVariable[Subscript["V", "f"], "Money"]/QuantityVariable[Subscript["V", "i"], "Money"])^(Quantity[1, "Years"]/QuantityVariable["T", "Time"])
