The investment calculator uses the compound interest formula to project how your money grows over time. It factors in your initial amount, contribution frequency, rate of return, and investment period.
The standard compound interest formula is: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) Where A = future value, P = principal, r = annual rate of return, n = compounding periods per year, and t = years.
Simple interest is calculated only on your initial investment, while compound interest also includes previously earned interest—resulting in faster, exponential growth.

Future value represents the amount your investment will be worth after interest and contributions are applied over the selected time period.
Results are estimates based on the entered rate of return and contribution pattern. Real results may vary depending on market performance, taxes, and fees.
