Note
This is not investment advice. It is a simplified model: it applies the displayed standard formula to the figures you entered, ignores taxes, fees, currency effects and credit risk, and assumes cash flows arrive exactly as scheduled. Real markets do not behave that way, and past or projected returns do not guarantee future results. Check the assumptions and consult a licensed adviser before acting on any figure.

How is the future value of a lump sum calculated?+
Future value equals the initial amount multiplied by (1 plus the interest rate) raised to the power of the number of compounding periods. It shows what a single upfront investment grows to after compounding over time at a given rate.
How much does compounding frequency affect the future value result?+
More frequent compounding (monthly or daily versus annually) produces a slightly higher future value for the same stated annual rate, because interest starts earning interest sooner. The effect is usually modest at typical rates but grows more noticeable at higher rates or over longer periods.
What's the difference between future value of a lump sum and of an annuity?+
A lump sum future value calculation assumes a single initial deposit growing over time, while an annuity future value calculation assumes a series of periodic contributions — the two use different formulas and shouldn't be confused when planning for a goal that involves ongoing contributions.
Why does a small change in the assumed interest rate produce a big difference over long periods?+
Because growth compounds exponentially, small differences in the annual rate get magnified significantly over long horizons — a 1% difference in rate can mean a substantially different outcome after 20 or 30 years, which is why realistic rate assumptions matter.
Does the future value calculation account for taxes or fees on investment growth?+
No, the basic formula assumes the entered rate is the net rate you'll actually earn; if your real return will be reduced by taxes, fees, or inflation, you should adjust the input rate downward to reflect that, or interpret the result as a gross, pre-cost figure.
