Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Enter the balance, rate, timing, fee, or contribution assumptions named by the fields.
- Use one currency and follow the stated nominal, effective, simple-interest, or compounding convention.
- Review the calculator-specific assumptions before comparing accounts or making a savings decision.
Calculation method
Calculation method
Each month: interest = opening balance × nominal annual rate ÷ 12; closing balance = opening balance + interest − withdrawal.
Entered fixed decimals are parsed exactly. Compound projections use stable exponential forms and preserve zero-rate cases exactly; money rounds only for display and a supported nonzero amount is not replaced by a misleading zero.
Worked example
Worked example
A 20,000 balance earning 3.6% nominal annual interest and paying 500 monthly can be projected for 24 months.
Each month: interest = opening balance × nominal annual rate ÷ 12; closing balance = opening balance + interest − withdrawal.
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Visible input limits
Amounts accept up to 30 digits and 12 decimal places and are capped at 1e12 per input. Rates are capped at 1000%. Most projections are capped at 1,200 months or 100 years; narrower whole-number limits appear in field labels.
International scope
No currency, institution, current market rate, deposit-insurance rule, tax system, regulatory disclosure, or jurisdiction-specific product term is assumed.
Decision boundary
Results are arithmetic scenarios from visitor-entered assumptions, not account quotations, forecasts, tax advice, legal determinations, deposit guarantees, or recommendations.
Calculator-specific assumptions
Rates, fees, taxes, compounding, crediting, withdrawal, and eligibility terms vary by institution and jurisdiction. This calculator applies only the visitor-entered scenario and does not quote or recommend an account.
