Compound Interest Calculator

Calculate the growth of an initial balance and regular monthly contributions at an assumed annual return.

Future balance
47,161.58
Total contributions
34,000
Investment growth
13,161.58

How the calculation works

FV = P(1+r)^n + C((1+r)^n−1)/r; r = (1+annual return)^(1/12)−1. At zero interest FV = P + Cn.

Inputs

  • Starting balance
  • End-of-month contribution
  • Effective annual return, %
  • Term, months

Calculation details

The constant return is supplied by the user. This is a scenario, not a forecast; taxes, fees, and inflation are not automatically deducted.

Contributions occur at each month end. The effective annual return is converted to an equivalent monthly rate using the twelfth root.
