Frequently Asked Questions
How is compound interest different from simple interest?
Compound interest is added to the balance and earns interest too, so it grows faster than simple interest over longer periods.
Are investment returns guaranteed?
No. The tool assumes a constant rate. Real returns vary, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
Does the result include tax?
No. Taxes, fees and charges are not deducted unless stated, so your actual amount may be lower.
Can I change the inputs and recalculate?
Yes. Change any value and press Calculate. The result, the table and the explanation update straight away.
Note
Projections use the constant rates you enter and are not guaranteed. This is not financial advice.
