The Formula Behind It

The calculator uses the compound interest formula with monthly contributions:
FV = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × (((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n))
Where:
- FV = Future Value (Retirement Savings)
- P = Initial Principal (Current Savings)
- PMT = Monthly Contribution
- r = Annual Return Rate (as a decimal)
- n = Number of times interest is compounded per year (12 for monthly)
- t = Time in years
This formula accounts for both initial savings and regular contributions, compounded monthly, to project your retirement corpus.
