How this calculator works
Revenue growth shows how fast a business is expanding over a period. CAGR is useful when the period is longer than one year because it converts total growth into an annualized rate.
Growth % = (current revenue − starting revenue) ÷ starting revenue
CAGR = (current ÷ starting)^(1 ÷ years) − 1
CAGR = (current ÷ starting)^(1 ÷ years) − 1
Use comparable revenue periods. For example, compare annual revenue to annual revenue, not monthly revenue to annual revenue.
