The Formula Behind Your Savings

This calculator uses the standard financial formula for the Future Value (FV) of an annuity to project the growth of your savings. This formula accounts for your initial deposit, your regular contributions, and the power of compound interest over time. The core formula is:

• FV is the future value of your savings.
• P is the initial principal balance (your initial deposit).
• PMT is the periodic payment (your monthly contribution).
• r is the periodic interest rate (your annual rate divided by 12).
• n is the total number of periods (the number of years multiplied by 12).

Compound interest is the engine of this formula. It means you earn interest not just on your contributions, but also on the accumulated interest from previous periods. This “interest on interest” effect is what causes your savings to grow at an accelerating rate over time, especially over longer investment horizons.
