Revenue CAGR calculator
Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is the constant yearly rate that would grow a starting value to an ending value over a number of years. For revenue, it smooths lumpy year-to-year changes into one comparable growth figure. Enter the starting revenue, ending revenue and the number of years between them. A company growing revenue from $100B to $200B over 5 years has a CAGR of about 14.9%. CAGR ignores the path taken, so it can hide volatility.

Formula

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate revenue CAGR?
Divide ending revenue by beginning revenue, raise the result to the power of 1 divided by the number of years, then subtract 1. Example: ($200B ÷ $100B)^(1/5) − 1 ≈ 14.9% per year.
What years count in the 'number of years'?
Use the gap between the two periods, not the count of data points. Revenue from FY2020 to FY2025 spans 5 years, so the exponent is 1/5, even though six annual figures are involved.
Why use CAGR instead of total growth?
CAGR expresses growth as a single annual rate, which makes companies with different time spans comparable. Total growth of 100% means very different things over 2 years versus 10 years; CAGR normalises for that.
