Projected Balance Over Time

Contributions vs. Growth

Final Breakdown

Assumptions: Target is $1,000,000. Compounding and contribution timing follow your selections above (defaults: annual compounding, end-of-period contributions). Inflation and taxes are not deducted. Projections are estimates only and not guaranteed returns or financial advice.

How This Calculator Works

Choose a years-to-goal approach to see required monthly savings, or enter your monthly contribution to see how long $1M may take.

Example

With $50,000 saved and 8% returns, reaching $1M in 20 years requires roughly $1,200–$1,400 per month (estimate).

FAQ

Should I adjust for inflation?

Yes for planning living costs. $1M in 30 years buys less than $1M today — try the Inflation Calculator.

Can I change the target?

This page focuses on $1M. Use Savings Goal or Investment Growth for other targets.
