Question 1

What is a realistic 'Annual Return' to use?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your investment strategy. A common long-term average for a diversified stock market portfolio is historically around 7-10% per year, though past performance is not a guarantee of future results. A more conservative portfolio might be 4-6%.

Question 2

Does this calculator account for inflation?

Accepted Answer

No, this tool does not factor in inflation. The future value of one million will have less purchasing power than it does today. This calculator is a motivational tool to visualize the power of consistent investing.

Question 3

Can I set a different savings goal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can change the target milestone to any amount you wish, allowing you to calculate the time to reach any savings goal, not just one million.
