What is a Stock Return Calculator?

Formula Used
Example Calculation
Total Return = 52.0% | CAGR = 15.2% | vs S&P500 10% CAGR → Outperformed by 5.2%
Total Return = 90% | CAGR = 17.1% | Beats Nifty 50's avg CAGR of ~12%
£10,000 FTSE 100 tracker, 7% CAGR + 3% dividend yield reinvested, 15 years. Final value: £43,842 | Total return: 338% | Annualised total return: 10.4%
Why Use This?
CAGR allows you to compare returns across different time periods on an apples-to-apples basis. A 50% return over 5 years (8.4% CAGR) is worse than a 50% return over 3 years (14.5% CAGR). Always measure against a benchmark to know if you're actually beating the market.
