How the Calculation Works
This calculator uses the future value of an annuity formula:
Where:
- FV = Future value (retirement savings)
- P = Regular contribution amount
- r = Expected annual return rate
- n = Number of years until retirement
- PV = Present value (current savings)
Example: $10,000 current savings, $500/month contribution, 7% return, 30 years:
• Current savings grows to: $76,123
• Monthly contributions grow to: $566,764
• Total retirement savings: $642,887
