Insights

    How it works

    1. Contributions compound monthly. Each month your balance grows by one-twelfth of the annual return, then your contribution is added.
    2. Growth builds on growth. Returns earned in early years start earning returns themselves, which is why the later bars in the chart rise faster.
    3. Inflation shrinks spending power. The "today's dollars" figure divides the final balance by the cumulative inflation over your time horizon.

    Assumes a steady annual return, which real markets rarely deliver. Fees and taxes are not included. Use it to compare scenarios, not to predict an outcome.

    Investing terms, explained

    Quick definitions for the words you'll see across our coverage.

    P/E ratioPrice-to-earnings

    A company's share price divided by its earnings per share. A higher P/E means investors are paying more for each dollar of profit, often because they expect faster growth.

    Market capitalizationMarket cap

    The total value of a company's shares: share price multiplied by shares outstanding. It is used to group companies into large-, mid- and small-cap.

    Dividend yieldIncome

    The annual dividend per share divided by the share price, shown as a percentage. It tells you how much cash income a stock pays relative to what it costs.

    ETFExchange-traded fund

    A fund that holds a basket of assets, such as an index of stocks, and trades on an exchange like a single share. ETFs offer instant diversification, usually at low cost.

    Bull and bear marketMarket direction

    A bull market is a sustained rise in prices; a bear market is commonly defined as a fall of 20% or more from a recent high.

    Compound growthReturns on returns

    When gains are reinvested, they start earning gains of their own. Over long periods this snowball effect drives most of a portfolio's growth, as the calculator above shows.
