Crypto CAGR calculator
CryptoKeyhole’s CAGR calculator gives the steady yearly growth rate of bitcoin or any coin we track between two dates, from our own daily closing prices, with the total return and the deepest fall on the way.

How it works
The calculator reads the coin’s daily closes between your dates, takes the first and last, and works out the compound yearly rate between them, the total return and the deepest fall from a high to a later low inside the period.
In "two values" mode it applies the same formula to the numbers you type, so it works for a portfolio, a fund or anything else.
Questions
What is CAGR?
The compound annual growth rate: the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the ending value over the same time. It smooths the path, so it says nothing about the falls on the way, which the page shows separately.
How is it worked out?
(end value ÷ start value) to the power (1 ÷ years), minus one, with the years counted in days divided by 365.25. The prices are our daily closes at the end of each UTC day.
Why does the start date matter so much?
Crypto moves in cycles: starting at a cycle top or bottom changes the answer more than the length of the period. Try a few starting dates, or a full four-year cycle.
Can I use my own numbers?
Yes. Switch to "two values" and type any start and end amounts and the years between them.
