Average Return Calculator

An average return calculator is essential for accurately measuring investment performance. This average return calculator provides three key metrics: cumulative return, average return, and average rate of return (CAGR).

Average return calculator metrics:

• CAGR (Average Rate of Return): The most accurate measure, showing the smoothed annual growth rate
• Cumulative Return: Total percentage gain or loss over the entire period
• Average Return: Simple arithmetic mean of annual returns

Why use an average return calculator: CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is the most reliable metric as it accounts for compounding effects. This average return calculator helps you compare different investments fairly and understand true investment performance.
