Formula and assumptions
CAGR = (end/start)^(1/years) − 1; total return = end/start − 1. Reverse modes use end = start × (1 + annual growth)^years.
- Interim deposits, withdrawals and transaction fees are excluded. CAGR requires a positive start and a nonnegative end. Duration requires positive start and end and a growth direction capable of reaching the target.

Connect using https://klarfort.com/tools/mcp. Discover this calculator with tools/list, then call cagr-calculator. Protocol versions 2026-07-28 and 2025-11-25 are supported. Modern requests carry protocol metadata and matching HTTP headers. Set Mcp-Name to params.name for tools/call and to params.uri for resources/read. Older clients initialize first.
Limits: 120 requests per minute per address and approximately 3,000 per minute per edge location. Simulations are capped at 1,000 paths, 600 months and 150,000 path-months (paths multiplied by months). Shorten the duration or reduce paths when that work limit is exceeded. A limit response returns 429 and Retry-After. No exact remaining-request count is available.
