Frequently asked questions

Practical notes about the inputs, assumptions, and result.

No. It is a scenario based on the rate and deposit timing you enter. Actual savings products and investments have different rates, fees, taxes, and rules.

It discounts the projected balance by the entered inflation assumption so you can compare its approximate purchasing power in today's dollars.

The calculator treats the amount as a consistent monthly savings plan and applies the selected compounding assumption across the projection. It does not model an exact bank posting date, so use it for planning rather than statement reconciliation.

Use the rate and compounding terms stated by the product. APY already reflects compounding, so do not apply it as a nominal rate with another compounding assumption unless the account terms support that comparison.
