This calculator projects how a starting balance and regular contributions may grow when returns are compounded.
Future value of a lump sum: FV = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). Regular contributions are added using the selected contribution timing.
$10,000 growing at 5% compounded monthly for 10 years becomes about $16,470 before tax and fees, without extra deposits.
The projection separates money contributed from estimated growth, helping show how rate and time affect the result.
The rate is assumed constant and is not guaranteed. Inflation, taxes, investment fees, market losses and contribution timing can materially change actual results. Currency is only a display unit.
