Costs after growth compared with reserve
The bars dey use the larger figure as their scale. Reserve na separate lump sum wey you keep aside; we no spread am across years.
Total budget as time dey pass

The cumulative figures include reserve from the start, so the last row na the lifetime budget. Cost growth dey compound every year at the rate wey you enter.
Formula
For n years wey remain and growth r: budget = annual cost × ((1 + r)n − 1) ÷ r + reserve. If growth na zero, use annual cost × n + reserve. Years wey remain n = lifespan wey you expect − age now.
Example wey show the calculation
Age 4, lifespan wey you expect 14 (10 years remain), yearly cost 9,000, growth 4%, reserve 15,000: costs after growth = 9,000 × ((1.0410 − 1) ÷ 0.04) = 108,054.96, plus reserve of 15,000 = 123,054.96. All these figures na example inputs; dem no be veterinary or market data — replace dem with your own costs.
Where e fit work and limits
This budget dey use current-money amounts, lifespan wey you assume and cost growth wey stay constant. E no be veterinary or insurance estimate. Na only wetin you enter dey inside: if insurance, food, routine care or emergency costs no dey your yearly cost or reserve, dem no go dey the result. Nobody know lifespan for sure; test shorter and longer lifespans. Years wey remain no fit be negative.
Questions wey people dey ask often
