FAQ
What's the difference between beginning and end-of-period contributions?
Beginning-of-period contributions earn one extra period of interest, resulting in slightly higher future values. This is also known as an annuity due.
How accurate are these projections?
Calculations are mathematically precise, but actual returns depend on market performance, fees, taxes, and other real-world factors not included in this calculator.
What's compound interest?
Compound interest means you earn interest on your interest, creating exponential growth. The more frequently interest compounds, the faster your money grows.
Can I use this for retirement planning?
Yes. This calculator is perfect for estimating retirement savings growth, though you may also want to consider inflation, taxes, and withdrawal strategies.
How do regular contributions affect growth?
Regular contributions significantly accelerate growth through dollar-cost averaging and consistent compounding. Even small monthly amounts add up over time.
