Growing from $12,000 to $18,000 over four years implies CAGR = (18,000 ÷ 12,000)^(1/4) − 1, approximately 10.67% per year. It is the constant annual growth rate that would connect the two endpoints.
What to check: CAGR smooths fluctuations and ignores the path between the beginning and ending figures. It should not be used as an annual return if external deposits or withdrawals changed the investment.
