Contributions are end-of-month and the rate is fixed. The table steps every five years from the current age to retirement.
Months = (retirement age − current age) × 12. Projected balance = current amount × (1 + monthly rate)months + contribution × [(1 + monthly rate)months − 1] ÷ monthly rate. Monthly rate = annual rate ÷ 12.
Age 35 to retirement at 60 is 25 years (300 months). Current $100,000 at 5% grows to $348,129.05; $1,000 a month grows to $595,509.71 on $300,000 paid in. Projected balance at retirement: $943,638.75.
Constant rate, no withdrawals, no employer match, no fees, no taxes, and no inflation adjustment, so the figure is in nominal future dollars. Real market returns vary, contribution levels usually change over a career, and retirement spending, taxes, and longevity are not modeled here.
No. It is the balance at retirement, before tax and before any withdrawals. How long it lasts depends on spending, returns after retirement, and lifespan.
Only if you include the match in the monthly contribution. Enter the combined figure to model it.
Because no inflation adjustment is applied. In today's purchasing power the same balance buys less after 25 years of inflation.
Change the retirement age. Each extra year adds twelve contributions plus a year of growth on the whole balance, which is why the last years are powerful.
Use a conservative long-run assumption and test lower rates too. A single fixed rate hides the year-to-year variation of real markets.
