The Retirement Savings Calculator uses a straightforward formula to estimate your future savings. It combines your current savings, monthly contributions, and the power of compound interest over time. Here's how it breaks down:
- 1. Your current savings grow over time based on your expected annual return.
- 2. Your monthly contributions are added and also grow with interest.
- 3. The total is calculated by adding up your savings, contributions, and the interest earned over the years until retirement.
Here’s a quick example of how the numbers might look:
