Financial planning notice

This tool provides reference estimates only. Do not use it as the sole basis for lending, repayment, investment, tax, or contract decisions. Confirm the result with your lender, official documents, or a qualified professional before acting.

Assumptions

  • Monthly contributions are added once per month using the selected timing.
  • Compounding controls how often the same annual return is credited. Contributions still happen monthly.
  • End-month deposits are the conservative default assumption.
  • Effective annual rate after fee: 4.91%
  • The starting amount grows using the effective return from the selected compounding schedule.
  • Monthly contributions are added at the selected beginning-of-month or end-of-month timing.
  • Annual fee and inflation inputs are simplified planning assumptions; taxes and real market volatility are not included.

How compound growth is calculated

Compound growth earns returns on both the original balance and earlier gains. This tool keeps contributions monthly, then converts the selected compounding schedule and annual fee into an effective monthly growth rate.

Usage notes

  • The starting amount grows using the effective return from the selected compounding schedule.
  • Monthly contributions are added at the selected beginning-of-month or end-of-month timing.
  • Annual fee and inflation inputs are simplified planning assumptions; taxes and real market volatility are not included.

Frequently asked questions

What changes when I change the compounding schedule?expand_more

With the same stated annual return, more frequent compounding slightly increases the effective annual rate. Monthly contribution frequency does not change.

When are monthly contributions added?expand_more

This calculator uses an end-of-month contribution assumption. If you contribute at the beginning of each month, the real result can be slightly higher.

Can this predict investment returns?expand_more

Use it as a planning estimate only. Actual returns, taxes, fees, exchange rates, and losses need separate review.
