Common questions

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.
