FAQ
Short answers for the questions people usually have when they sanity-check calculator output.
This version assumes monthly contributions and monthly compounding from the annual return rate. That keeps the projection simple and easy to compare.
No. It uses a constant return rate for the whole period, so it’s best seen as a planning estimate rather than a market forecast.
Investment growth is future value minus the total amount you put in through the initial investment and monthly contributions.
