About this investment calculator
Regular investing plus time is one of the most reliable ways to build wealth. This calculator projects how a starting amount and steady monthly contributions could grow at an expected annual return, so you can see the power of consistency and set realistic goals.
⚠️ Estimates only — not financial advice. Investments can go down as well as up.
Frequently asked questions
How is the future value estimated?
We compound your starting amount and each monthly contribution at your expected annual return, month by month, over the number of years you choose.
What return rate should I use?
That’s up to you. Historically, broad stock markets have averaged roughly 7% per year after inflation, but returns are never guaranteed.
Is this financial advice?
No. It’s an estimate to help you plan. Investments carry risk and can go down as well as up.
