Actual returns vary and losses are possible. Fee and inflation treatment is simplified. Use this to compare scenarios, not predict performance.

Read the result carefully

A smooth projection is not a smooth journey.

This calculator uses a constant assumed annual return and monthly compounding. Real investments can rise and fall, returns vary by period, and fees, taxes, inflation, and behavior affect the outcome.

Test conservative scenarios as well as optimistic ones. A useful plan should not depend on one precise return arriving on schedule.
