Compound Annual Growth Rate Calculation

Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009

Question: Hello,

can you tell me if I invest x amount of money for period of 25 years which grows at the rate of 12% compounded annually - what formula/process should i apply to arrive at the maturity amount given that rate of inflation is 6%?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Answer: You are asking about CAGR or compund annual growth rate. In your case, your gross return would compound at 12% and net return would compound
at 6%.

Just solve for the future
value.
