Future value of recurring savings

FV = P(1 + r/12)^{12y} + PMT × [((1 + r/12)^{12y} − 1) ÷ (r/12)]

P is your current balance, PMT is the monthly contribution, r is the annual rate tied to the selected risk profile, and y is years until retirement.

How to use

  1. Enter your current age and target retirement age to set the timeline.
  2. Provide current savings, planned monthly contribution, and choose a risk profile.
  3. Review the projection for total contributions, investment growth, and the estimated nest egg.

Example

Input: Current age = 32, Retirement age = 65, Savings = $40,000, Monthly contribution = $600, Risk profile = Balanced (≈7%)

Output: Projected nest egg ≈ $1,326,719.63 with $1,049,119.63 in growth over contributions

FAQ & notes

Can I change the assumed return?

Yes. Switch the risk profile to conservative, balanced, or growth to adjust the underlying annual return assumption (5%, 7%, or 9%).

Does this include taxes or employer matches?

No. The projection is pre-tax and does not account for employer contributions. Add matching funds to the monthly contribution to include them.
