Annualised Return Calculator FAQs
How is annualised return different from total return?+
Total return covers the entire holding period; annualised return converts it to an equivalent compound rate per year.
Why include months?+
A more precise holding period produces a more accurate annualised rate for investments held for part of a year.
Is this the same as CAGR?+
The formula is the same for a single uninterrupted investment. This version is tailored to exact holding periods in years and months.
