Investment Estimator

Compound interest means the returns you earn start earning returns of their own. A balance growing at 10% a year does not add the same amount each year; it adds 10% of an ever larger total, which is why long time horizons matter far more than the starting amount.

Enter a starting amount, how many years you plan to invest, the annual return you expect and any regular contributions. The chart shows your projected balance year by year, split into what you put in and what the growth added.
