How Investment Returns Work
This calculator helps you understand how your investments can grow over time using compound interest. It considers both your initial investment and regular monthly contributions.
Compound Interest: Your earnings generate their own earnings, creating exponential growth over time. Starting early maximizes this effect.
Regular Contributions: Consistent monthly investments can significantly boost your final returns through dollar-cost averaging.
