We study polynomial growth of algebraic series. It is proved that if an N-algebraic series tau with arbitrarily many commuting variables has polynomial growth, then tau is in fact N-rational. Also, polynomial growth is decidable. Similar results are proved for N-algebraic series with noncommuting variables having bounded supports. It is also shown that polynomial growth is not decidable for N-algebraic series having noncommuting variables without the additional condition on the supports.
