How it works
How it works: monthly compounding with the entered annual rate (nominal rate divided by 12). Contributions are added at each month start. A mathematical projection, not a prediction: real markets vary and past returns don't guarantee future ones.
Frequently asked questions
Is compound interest realistic?
As math yes; as prediction no: the rate you enter is an assumption. Use conservative rates (4-7%) for long-term plans.
Why do monthly contributions matter?
Because time and consistency beat initial capital: with 20 years ahead, small monthly contributions become huge.
Does it account for taxes or inflation?
No: the result is gross and nominal. Subtract your tax rate and ~2-3% yearly inflation for a sense of real purchasing power.
