Retirement Calculator
Project your retirement nest egg from a starting balance and monthly contributions.
Balance at retirement$691,150.47
Total contributed$190,000.00
Investment growth$501,150.47
This is the future value of a starting balance plus monthly contributions: FV = P·(1 + r)ⁿ + PMT·((1 + r)ⁿ − 1) ÷ r, where r is the monthly return (annual ÷ 1200) and n is the number of months (years × 12). Starting at $10,000 and adding $500/month at a 7% return for 30 years grows to ≈ $691,150 — of which ≈ $501,150 is investment growth on top of the $190,000 contributed. Returns are not guaranteed and inflation is not factored in.

Questions
How much will my retirement savings grow?
It compounds your current balance and each monthly contribution at the expected return. $10,000 plus $500/month at 7% for 30 years grows to roughly $691,000.
What does this assume?
A fixed annual return compounded monthly, with contributions at the end of each month. Real markets fluctuate, fees reduce returns and inflation lowers buying power, so treat this as a projection, not advice.
