Compound interest & regular contributions

Separate contributions from growth, convert to today's purchasing power, or solve for starting capital, contributions, duration or required return.

Formula used

Return conversion

Monthly rate = (1 + effective annual return)^(1/12) − 1.

Regular contributions

Each contribution is applied at the selected beginning or end of period and at the chosen monthly or annual frequency.

Real purchasing power

Real value = future value / (1 + inflation)^years.
