What inputs matter most for long-term projections?

Time horizon and contribution rate often matter more than the exact return rate. Small changes to contributions or years invested can significantly change outcomes.

What is the difference between nominal and real results?

Nominal results ignore inflation. Real results adjust for inflation to reflect buying power. If inflation is high, real growth can be materially lower than nominal growth.

How often should I recalculate these numbers?

Quarterly or annually is usually enough for planning. Recalculate after major changes like a new job, a raise, a large purchase, or a change in debt or savings goals.

Are the results guaranteed?

No. These calculators provide estimates based on your assumptions. Real-world outcomes vary with markets, rates, fees, and changes in your income or spending.
