Investment Growth Calculator

Project how an investment grows with a starting amount, regular contributions, and return.

The result shows the projected final value, the total amount contributed, and how much of the final value came from growth.

Formula

Growth combines compounding on the starting amount with the future value of a monthly contribution stream.

How it works

This shows the power of steady contributions plus compounding. It assumes the same return every year and no withdrawals, taxes, or fees.

Worked example

For example, $10000 at the start, $200 a month, an 8% annual return, and 15 years give a projected value of $102276.86, from $46000 contributed and $56276.86 of growth.

FAQs

Is the return guaranteed?
No — market returns vary year to year.

Are fees included?
No, subtract fund fees from the return for a net view.

What if I stop contributing?
The starting amount keeps growing, but the final balance will be lower.

Are these figures financial advice?
No — they are estimates for planning only, not financial advice. Check with a qualified adviser for decisions involving large sums.
