Bars are scaled to the larger figure. The reserve is a separate lump sum you set aside; it is not spread across years.

Cumulative figures include the reserve from the start, so the final row equals the lifetime budget. Cost growth compounds each year at the rate you enter.
For n remaining years and growth r: budget = annual cost × ((1 + r)n − 1) ÷ r + reserve. With zero growth, use annual cost × n + reserve. Remaining years n = expected lifespan − current age.
Age 4, expected lifespan 14 (10 remaining years), annual cost 9,000, growth 4%, reserve 15,000: growth-adjusted costs = 9,000 × ((1.0410 − 1) ÷ 0.04) = 108,054.96, plus the 15,000 reserve = 123,054.96. All figures here are example inputs, not veterinary or market data — replace them with your own costs.
This is a nominal budget using an assumed lifespan and constant cost growth, not a veterinary or insurance estimate. It excludes nothing by name, but it only contains what you put in: if insurance, food, routine care and emergencies are not inside your annual cost or reserve, they are not in the result either. Lifespan is uncertain; test shorter and longer lifespans. Remaining years cannot be negative.
For n remaining years and growth r: budget = annual cost × ((1+r)n − 1) ÷ r + reserve. With zero growth, use annual cost × n + reserve.
Whatever you intend it to cover — typically emergencies or end-of-life care. It is a lump sum added once, not an annual amount.
Anything not inside your annual cost or reserve. It is not a veterinary quote and not an insurance estimate; it is a budgeting model built from your assumptions.
Because it compounds: at 4% over 10 years the growth-adjusted total (108,054.96) is well above 10 flat years at 9,000 (90,000). Small rate changes compound into large differences.
The budget rises with every extra year. Run the calculation at a longer lifespan as a sensitivity check, not just the central estimate.
