How the investment growth calculator works

  • The calculator applies your selected assumed return over the investment period.
  • Regular contributions are added at the end of each month.
  • Compounding means growth is calculated on prior growth as well as contributions.
  • Fees can reduce future value when an annual fee is entered.
  • Inflation can reduce purchasing power when an inflation assumption is entered.
  • Actual investment returns vary and can be negative.

Calculation assumptions

  • Monthly contributions are added at the end of each month.
  • Returns use an effective monthly rate derived from the assumed annual return for illustration.
  • Fees are excluded unless an annual fee is entered.
  • Inflation is excluded unless entered.
  • Tax is not included in this estimate. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and the type of account or investment used.
  • Portfolio values are not allowed to fall below £0 in this model.

These calculations are illustrative only and are not forecasts, investment advice or guarantees of future returns. Investment values can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invest.
