Building wealth is rarely about a single windfall; it's about the consistency of saving and the magic of compound interest. Our Savings Growth Calculator is designed to help you see the long-term impact of your financial decisions. By entering a few simple variables, you can forecast how much your money will be worth in 5, 10, or even 30 years.
Compound interest is often called the "eighth wonder of the world." Unlike simple interest, which is calculated only on the principal amount, compound interest is calculated on the principal plus the interest that has already been added. This creates a snowball effect where your savings grow at an accelerating rate.
If you are a freelancer planning for inconsistent income, using our Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator can help you determine how much you need to charge to meet the monthly contribution goals set in this savings tool.
Financial health is just as important as physical health. Just as you might use a BMI Calculator to track your physical fitness, this savings planner helps you track your fiscal fitness. Knowing your "end number" makes it much easier to stay motivated and stick to a budget.
For those running online businesses or selling services, remember to account for transaction costs. Use our Paypal Fee Calculator to ensure your net profit matches the monthly contribution you intend to save.

No. Interest rates for savings accounts can fluctuate based on central bank policies. For investments like stocks or bonds, the rate is an estimate based on historical averages. It's always wise to run "best-case" and "worst-case" scenarios.
High-yield savings accounts typically offer 3-5%, while long-term stock market investments (like the S&P 500) have historically averaged around 7-10% before inflation.
