How the investment calculator works

Each period your balance earns the return rate, and your contribution is added at the start or end of the period. The rate you enter is a yearly rate compounded as you choose; we convert it to the matching rate per contribution period.

The other tabs solve the same equation for a different unknown: how much to contribute, what return you need, how much to start with, or how long it takes to reach your target.

Results assume a constant return, no taxes and no fees. Real returns vary year to year, so treat the answer as a planning estimate.

Using and checking your result

Published by JustYourCalculator. Check the units and assumptions above, and compare a known example before relying on the output. Calculations use browser arithmetic and may round displayed values.

This is an educational estimate, not a lender quote, tax filing calculation or investment recommendation. Actual costs depend on current rules, fees and your circumstances. Verify important decisions with official sources and a qualified adviser.
