How Retirement Savings Growth Is Calculated
The calculator estimates how your existing retirement savings and regular monthly contributions could grow over the years before retirement.
Your assumed annual return is converted into a monthly rate. The calculator then applies that rate to the balance each month while adding your planned contribution.
The estimated investment growth is the difference between the projected retirement value and the total amount contributed.
Retirement Savings Example
Suppose you currently have $10,000 saved, contribute $500 every month, and assume an average annual return of 7% for 25 years.
Your retirement savings could grow through both your regular contributions and the potential growth of the money already invested.
This is only an illustration. Actual investment returns can vary from year to year and may be lower or higher than the assumed rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a retirement calculator?
A retirement calculator estimates how much your current savings and future contributions could grow before retirement based on an assumed rate of return.
Does saving more each month increase my retirement savings?
Generally, yes. Increasing your regular contributions increases the amount you put toward retirement and can also increase the amount that may benefit from investment growth.
Are investment returns guaranteed?
No. The annual return entered into the calculator is an assumption. Actual investment performance can fluctuate, and investments can lose value.
Does this calculator include inflation?
No. The result is a nominal future value estimate and does not account for inflation or changes in purchasing power.
Does this calculator include retirement withdrawals?
No. This calculator estimates the value of your savings at retirement. It does not estimate how much you can safely withdraw after retirement.
