What this calculator tells you

The difference between projected value and the initial investment represents compounded growth.

Formula and assumptions

Formula: Projected value = initial investment × (1 + annual total return) ^ years.

Assumptions

  • All dividends are reinvested and included in the annual total-return assumption.
  • The return is constant and compounds once per year; taxes, fees, and additional contributions are excluded.
