Calculated with monthly compounding, gross interest (no taxes). Real investment returns are never guaranteed — this is only a mathematical projection.

How it works

Uses monthly compounding: each month, the balance earns interest proportional to the annual rate divided by 12, and that interest is added to the principal before the next month's interest is calculated — hence "compound interest." If you add a monthly contribution, it's also added each month, so it starts earning its own interest from the month it's contributed.

Why it doesn't include taxes

Capital gains taxation varies a lot by country, product (savings account, fund, stocks...) and your personal situation, so trying to calculate it would give wrong results for most people. This calculator shows gross growth — the part that's the same for anyone with the same input numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How is compound interest calculated here?

With monthly compounding: each month, the interest earned is added to the principal, and the next month's interest is calculated from there. If you add a monthly contribution, it's added to the principal each month before the next month's interest is calculated.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All calculation happens in your browser. No data you enter is transmitted anywhere.

Does it include taxes on the gains?

No. Taxes on capital gains or investment returns vary a lot by country and financial product, so this calculator shows gross growth, before taxes.
