Frequently asked questions

What is CAGR?
Compound annual growth rate is the steady yearly rate that would take your start value to your end value. It lets you compare investments held for different lengths of time.
Why is the annual rate lower than the total return?
Total return is the whole gain over the period; the annualized rate spreads that gain across each year, accounting for compounding. A 100% total return over ten years is about 7% a year.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Every calculation runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, logged or stored, and the numbers reset when you close the tab.
Is this financial advice?
No. These are estimates to help you plan and compare options. Your real figures depend on your lender, taxes and personal situation, so check with a qualified professional before deciding.
