THE RESULT

Choose your assumptions and calculate.

Model output, not a forecast. Read the assumptions below.

How the calculation works

Each period: new balance = prior balance × (1 + period return) + contribution. Contributions do not earn a return until the following period.

Worked example

Starting with 1,000, adding 100 after each of 12 periods and assuming 1% each period gives 2,395.08. Total contributions including the start are 2,200.
