Appreciation compounds: each year's growth applies to the new, higher value. A 3% annual rate does not add 30% over 10 years, it adds about 34% because gains build on gains.
This calculator applies your assumed rate for the chosen period, reports the future value, the total appreciation in money terms, the percentage growth, and the annualized (CAGR) rate, which by construction equals the input rate.
Because constant-rate growth never happens in reality, the honest use of this tool is scenario testing: model optimistic, moderate and pessimistic rates side by side.
Future Value = Initial Value × (1 + annual rate)^years
Compound growth: Growth applied to the accumulated value each year, not just the original amount.
CAGR: Compound annual growth rate, the constant annual rate that connects start and end values.
A property worth $450,000 is assumed to grow 3% per year for 10 years.
Growth factor = 1.03^10 ≈ 1.3439. Future value ≈ $604,762. Total appreciation ≈ $154,762, or +34.4%.
If you also spent $30,000 on improvements, total capital invested is $480,000 and the gain versus invested capital is about $124,762.
- •Constant-rate assumption; no volatility, taxes, selling costs or inflation modeling.
- •Not a prediction, a deterministic scenario you define.
