BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculator works

The expected annual effective return is converted to a monthly equivalent, (1 + return)^(1/12) − 1. Deposits occur at month end and increase once each year. Scenarios rerun the projection two percentage points below and above your expected return (bounded to 0–50%).

Use current quotes, local rates, and measured dimensions to make this estimate useful for your situation.
