Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the calculations?
The calculator uses standard compound interest formulas and considers factors like inflation and varying contribution schedules. However, actual returns will depend on market performance and your specific investment choices.
What do the different risk levels mean?
Risk levels adjust the expected return rates: Conservative (lower risk, lower returns), Moderate (balanced risk and returns), and Aggressive (higher risk, potential for higher returns).
Why consider inflation?
Inflation affects the purchasing power of your savings over time. Including inflation in calculations provides a more realistic view of your future savings value.
Can I change my savings plan later?
Yes! You can recalculate at any time with different parameters. It's good practice to review and adjust your savings plan periodically as your circumstances change.
