About the Free Investment Calculator

An investment calculator helps estimate how money may grow over time when you invest an initial amount and add regular contributions. Enter your starting investment, monthly contribution, expected annual rate of return, and the number of years you plan to invest to see an illustrative future value.

The calculator compounds the estimated annual return monthly and assumes each monthly contribution is made at the end of the month. Total contributions include your initial investment plus all planned monthly deposits. Estimated investment growth is the difference between the projected future value and the amount you contribute.

You can optionally enter an inflation estimate to see the approximate purchasing power of the projected future value in today's money. This is only a planning illustration and does not account for taxes, investment fees, changing returns, or the specific risks of any asset. Actual results can be higher or lower, and investment returns are not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is future investment value calculated?

The estimate compounds an assumed annual return monthly, applies it to the existing balance, and adds your monthly contribution at the end of each month.

What is investment growth?

Investment growth is the estimated future value minus the initial investment and regular contributions you make during the selected period.

Are the returns guaranteed?

No. The annual return is an assumption for planning purposes. Market returns can fluctuate, and you may receive less than you invest.

Why include inflation?

Inflation can reduce purchasing power over time. The optional inflation estimate shows what the projected future value might be worth in today's money, using your chosen inflation rate.

Does this calculator include taxes and fees?

No. Taxes, account fees, trading costs, and other expenses are not included, so the actual value may differ from the estimate.
