How does the Geometric Mean work?

GM = (x₁ × x₂ × ... × xₙ)^(1/n) Then: Always ≤ arithmetic mean Then: For investment returns: GM = (final/initial)^(1/n) − 1.

Can you give an example of how to use the Geometric Mean?

Example: Input Annual returns: +50%, −50%, +50% gives a result of GM = (1.5×0.5×1.5)^(1/3)−1 = −6.1%/yr (AM would give +16.7% — completely misleading).

Is the Geometric Mean free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.

Values (comma separated, all positive)

The geometric mean is the nth root of the product of n numbers. It is the correct average for quantities that multiply (growth rates, investment returns) rather than add.

Did You Know?

A 50% gain followed by a 50% loss leaves you at 75% of your starting value — the geometric mean captures this reality while arithmetic mean doesn't.
