📈 What is an Investment Return Calculator?

This Investment Return Calculator helps you measure how much your investment has grown over a period of time. In this version, we calculate CAGR — or Compound Annual Growth Rate, the most reliable metric for long-term performance.

CAGR shows the smoothed annual rate at which your investment would have grown if it grew at a steady pace.

Future versions will also include ROI (absolute return) and XIRR (for irregular cash flows).

🛠️ How to Use:

1. Enter the amount you initially invested.

2. Enter the final value of your investment today.

3. Provide the number of years the money was invested.

4. Click Calculate to view your CAGR.

🧠 Example:

• Initial Investment: ₹1,00,000

• Final Value: ₹2,50,000

• Timeframe: 5 years

📊 Result:

• CAGR = 20.11% per annum
