FAQ
Short answers for the questions people usually have when they sanity-check calculator output.
Compounding frequency controls how often interest is added back into the balance. More frequent compounding can produce slightly higher growth.
No. This calculator keeps things focused on a one-time principal amount. Monthly contributions belong in the investment calculator.
