Formula Used
The calculator uses the compound interest formula: A=P(1+rn)nt+PMT×((1+rn)nt−1)(rn)A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt} + PMT \times \frac{((1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt} - 1)}{(\frac{r}{n})}A=P(1+nr)nt+PMT×(nr)((1+nr)nt−1)
Where:
- A = Final amount (retirement balance)
- P = Initial principal (starting balance)
- r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = Number of compounding periods per year (usually 12)
- t = Years until retirement
- PMT = Monthly contribution
