Project your investment growth in a few quick steps.
Input the amount you're starting with.
Enter how much you plan to contribute monthly or annually.
Enter the expected annual rate of return (as a percentage).
Specify the number of years you'll invest.
Check your projected balance, total contributions, and investment growth over time.
Historical stock market returns average around 7-10% annually after inflation. Conservative investments may return 3-5%, while bonds typically yield 2-4%. These are historical averages and past performance does not guarantee future results.
Regular contributions (dollar-cost averaging) reduce timing risk and build discipline. Lump sum investing can be effective if you have available funds and good market timing.
Compounding means your investment earns returns, and those returns also earn returns. Over time, this compound growth significantly accelerates wealth building.
