When to use this calculator
Use this to compare salary at two points in your career and separate total growth from annualised compound growth.
Formula
The calculator uses this formula:
CAGR = (Current salary ÷ Starting salary)^(1 ÷ Years) − 1
Figures are rounded for display. Calculations use the full entered values.
Worked examples
$50,000 to $70,000 over 4 years is about 8.78% annually.
What your result means
Total growth shows the full change relative to starting salary. Annualised growth smooths that change across the entered years, so it is a comparison rate rather than a claim that salary rose equally each year.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using zero as starting salary.
- Entering months in the years field without converting them.
- Reading annualised growth as the raise received in each individual year.
Assumptions and limitations
- Start and end salaries use the same currency and pay basis.
- The interval in years is accurate.
- Bonuses, inflation and changes in working hours are not separated.
