Compound growth calculator
See how a starting amount plus regular monthly saving could grow over time, at a yearly return you choose. Real investments don't grow in a straight line: they rise and fall, and can lose money. Treat this as an illustration of how time and compounding work, not a prediction. Nothing is stored.

Assumes a steady return compounded monthly, deposits at the end of each month, and no fees or taxes. Fees and taxes lower real results. Educational only, not investment advice.
Two things this shows
- Time does a lot of the work. Try adding or removing ten years and watch the growth share change.
- Small differences compound. Lower the return by 1% (the size of a high fund fee) and see the difference over decades. See why fees matter.
