How to Use This Calculator
1
Enter your starting amount
This is your initial deposit. Even $0 works if you're starting from scratch with monthly contributions only.
2
Set monthly contribution and interest rate
Consistent monthly contributions are the key to compound growth. High-yield savings accounts offer 4–5%; stock market averages 7–10%.
3
Adjust the time horizon
Compound interest grows exponentially, so longer periods have a dramatic effect. Compare 10 vs 20 years to see the difference.
