This calculator projects growth by compounding returns monthly. Each month, it adds the recurring contribution, calculates interest on the new total balance using the monthly rate (Annual Return / 12), and compounds it. The total value is computed over the specified number of years.
1. Enter your Initial Investment (starting capital). 2. Input your planned Monthly Contribution. 3. Enter the expected Annual Return rate (historical stock market average is around 8-10%). 4. Specify the investment timeframe in years. 5. Review the future portfolio value.
Total Value is the projected final portfolio size. Total Capital Contributed is the sum of your initial and monthly deposits. Compound Interest Gain is the amount earned purely from compound returns.
FAQ
No. Historical stock market averages (like S&P 500) are around 8-10% annually over long periods, but actual year-to-year returns fluctuate. This calculator projects consistent annual growth for planning purposes.
Starting early gives your money more time to compound. Because compound interest grows exponentially, investing smaller amounts over a longer period can yield a much larger final value than investing larger amounts later.
