Enter your initial investment, adjust the three monthly saving plans (Plan A / Plan B / Custom), and set two annual return rates to compare.
Observe the dynamic 30‑year curves. Hover over any cell to reveal total invested, pure gain, and growth multiple. Switch to Chart mode to see the compounding curve — solid lines = future value, dashed lines = principal.
📊 How to read the chart? Solid lines = total account value. Dashed lines = total contributions. The “explosion” typically occurs after year 15–20.
📱 On mobile, swipe the table horizontally or use Chart view.
The Inflection Point: Switch to Chart mode. Between Year 15 and 20, the curve rises almost vertically — time's richest reward.
📈 The longer you stay invested, the more dramatic the effect. Small monthly contributions, given time, become fortunes.
Compare three strategies side‑by‑side with two different return rates. Even a 2% difference can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars over 30 years.
The three key drivers: starting capital, consistent additions, and time & return rate. Higher monthly adds more principal; higher return accelerates growth.
Divide 72 by your annual return. At 8%: ~9 years; at 10%: ~7.2 years. Over 30 years, extra doubling cycles create huge gaps.
Consistency is key. Automate contributions, reinvest dividends, avoid emotional decisions during market dips.
