Use the headline result as a planning range, then compare a second scenario. Time, rates, contributions, fees, tax and inflation can all change the real outcome.
We use the standard compound interest formula with regular contributions and compounding:
CalculateFV = P(1 + r/n)ⁿᵗ + PMT · ((1 + r/n)ⁿᵗ − 1) / (r/n)Where P = principal, r = annual rate, n = compounding frequency, t = time in years, PMT = periodic contribution.

BUILT FOR CLARITY
Keep Scenario A and Scenario B visible so rate, term, and contribution changes are easy to compare.
See the balance year by year, split between your contributions and estimated interest.

HOW TO USE IT
Start with the figures you know today, then change one assumption at a time. This makes it easy to see which input has the greatest effect on the result.
Compare a conservative rate with an optimistic rate, and try a slightly higher monthly contribution. Small recurring increases can matter more than a one-off deposit over a long period.
THE MATH BEHIND IT
We use the standard compound interest formula with regular contributions and compounding:
FV = P(1 + r/n)ⁿᵗ + PMT × ((1 + r/n)ⁿᵗ − 1) ÷ (r/n)How to read the result: The headline value is an estimate based on constant inputs. Real-world rates, fees, taxes, payment timing, and rounding can change the final amount.
Yes. It is free, works entirely in your browser, and does not require an account.
Interest is calculated monthly and added to the balance, so later interest can build on earlier interest.
