Years Required at Different Return Rates:

Return Rate Required for Different Time Periods:

Return
Formula: Future Value = Initial Investment × (1 + rate)years
Example: 1 at 10% for 10 years = 1 × (1.10)10 = 2.59

CAGR Calculator

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate):

Periodic Return:

Details:

Absolute Return
CAGR Formula: CAGR = [(1 + Absolute Return / 100)(1 / years) - 1] × 100
Periodic Return Formula: Periodic Return = [(1 + Absolute Return / 100)(1 / periods) - 1] × 100
Example: 300% return over 3 months = 58.74% CAGR and 59.05% monthly return
Note: Time periods are converted to years for CAGR calculation
CAGR to Absolute Return Calculator

Absolute Return:

Growth Multiple:

Details:

CAGR
Formula: Absolute Return = [(1 + CAGR / 100)years - 1] × 100
Growth Multiple: (1 + CAGR / 100)years
Example: 25% CAGR over 10 years = [(1.25)10 - 1] × 100 = 831.05% absolute return
Interpretation: An investment growing at 25% CAGR will grow 9.31x in 10 years
Inflation Impact Calculator

Future Value Needed:

Purchasing Power Loss:

Details:

Inflation Rate
Formula: Future Value = Current Value × (1 + inflation rate)years
Example: 100 at 6% inflation for 10 years = 100 × (1.06)10 = 179.08
Interpretation: You'll need 179.08 in 10 years to have the same purchasing power as 100 today
Note: Matrix shows future value needed for every 1 unit of current value
