Revenue Growth Calculator
Calculate the percentage growth in revenue between two periods and the implied compound growth rate over multiple years.
Your results
Calculation breakdown
- Total growth
- ((End − Start) ÷ Start) × 100
- CAGR
- ((End ÷ Start)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1) × 100
Worked example
A business that grew revenue from $150,000 to $195,000 over one year recorded 30% growth, equal to a 30% CAGR.
Assumptions
- Compare like-for-like periods, such as full financial years.
- CAGR assumes smooth growth and may not reflect lumpy year-to-year results.
- A years value of 1 makes CAGR equal to the total growth rate.
How this calculator works
Compare revenue from a starting period to an ending period to see the total percentage growth, plus the compound annual growth rate if the comparison spans more than one year.
Frequently asked questions
What is CAGR?
Compound annual growth rate is the steady annual growth rate that would take the starting revenue to the ending revenue over the number of years entered.
Can revenue growth be negative?
Yes, a decline shows as negative growth, meaning revenue fell between the two periods.
Should I compare like periods?
Compare the same period type, such as full year to full year, to avoid seasonal distortion.
