Frequently asked questions
How much will my savings grow?
It depends on your contributions and return. This tool compounds monthly and shows contributions vs interest so you can see the effect of time.
What return rate should I use?
For a savings account, use your APY (often 4–5% recently). For long-term investing, 6–8% is a common historical assumption before inflation.
Why start saving early?
Because returns compound, the earliest contributions grow the most. Starting a few years sooner often beats saving larger amounts later.
