Appreciation Calculator

Calculate appreciation amount and percentage from starting and ending value. Optional annualized (CAGR) when time period is provided.

Use the Appreciation Calculator

Enter starting and ending value. See appreciation amount and %. Optionally add time period and show annualized appreciation.

Values

Starting and ending value. Optional: time period for annualized appreciation.

Results

Appreciation amount
$20,000
Appreciation (%)
20%
Annualized appreciation (CAGR)
9.54%

Appreciation = Ending - Starting. % = (Ending - Starting) / Starting. Annualized = (Ending/Starting)^(1/Years) - 1 when period is given.

How this calculator works

Enter starting value and ending value. Appreciation amount = Ending - Starting; appreciation % = (Ending - Starting) / Starting. If you enter a time period in years and tick annualized, it also shows CAGR.

How to interpret your results

Use the dollar amount for absolute gain; use the percentage for comparison across different asset sizes. Use annualized appreciation to compare growth across different holding periods.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using the wrong sign (e.g. depreciation as positive); mixing currencies or units; or comparing appreciation across different time spans without annualizing.

FAQs

What is appreciation?▾
Appreciation is the increase in value of an asset. Amount = Ending - Starting; percentage = (Ending - Starting) / Starting x 100.
Which inputs matter most?▾
Starting and ending value drive the result. Time period only affects the optional annualized appreciation (CAGR).
What assumptions does this calculator make?▾
It assumes the change is reflected in the two values you enter. No compounding frequency is applied except for the annualized figure when you provide years.
How accurate are the results?▾
The calculation is exact for your inputs. Real appreciation depends on how you measure value (e.g. market price, appraisal) and timing.
Can I use this for planning decisions?▾
Yes, to quantify past appreciation or to set targets (e.g. what ending value implies what annualized growth). Not a predictor of future performance.
