Compound Growth
Compounding earns returns on your previous returns. The more frequent the compounding and the longer the horizon, the larger the effect.
Rate of Return
Expected return drives long-term growth. Higher assumed rates grow a balance faster but carry more risk; actual returns vary and are never guaranteed.
Contributions
Regular contributions often matter more than timing. Consistent investing over time can build substantial balances even at modest returns.
Retirement Income
Retirement planning balances how much you save, how it grows, how long it needs to last, and a sustainable withdrawal rate from the accumulated balance.
Common savings & investing questions, answered
What is compound interest?
Interest calculated on both your initial principal and the interest that has already been added to it. Over time, compounding can grow a balance significantly.
How much should I save each month?
It depends on your goal, timeline, expected return, and starting balance. The Savings Goal Calculator solves for the monthly contribution needed to reach a target.
What is APY?
Annual Percentage Yield is the yearly return on a savings account, including the effect of compounding. The High-Yield Savings Calculator uses APY to project growth.
How are investment returns calculated?
Total return measures the overall gain or loss, while annualized return expresses that growth as a yearly rate. The Investment Return Calculator computes both.
What is dollar-cost averaging?
Investing a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of price. It buys more shares when prices are low and fewer when high, smoothing the average cost over time.
How does the retirement calculator work?
It projects how your current balance and contributions may grow over time at an assumed return, then estimates how long the balance may last given a withdrawal assumption.
