Calculate growth under three successive contractual interest-rate periods.
It keeps balances, contributions, withdrawals, fees, rate conventions, crediting frequency, and time periods visible so you can compare accounts and plans without hidden product assumptions.
Calculation structure
Match every rate to its time period
Each period compounds monthly at its entered rate; the previous period's ending balance carries forward.

Read the estimate correctly
Use the result with its assumptions
A 10,000 deposit can earn 3% in year one, 4% in year two, and 5% in year three.
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.
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 period compounds monthly at its entered rate; the previous period's ending balance carries forward.
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.

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.
