GOOD TO KNOW

A few common questions

How does this monthly savings calculator work?

It subtracts your monthly spending from your take-home pay. If you have money left over, that is the amount used for each hypothetical monthly investment. If spending is higher than income, it shows the shortfall instead.

Does a global index fund grow by 5% every year?

No. The 3%, 5% and 7% figures are only examples to help you explore possibilities. Real investment returns change from year to year. Markets can fall, and you could get back less than you invested. The calculator also leaves out fees, taxes and inflation.

Are my income and spending details private?

Yes. The calculator runs in your browser. Your figures are not sent to the website or saved in an account. You can choose to share a picture of your monthly savings and 20-year illustration, without sharing your income or spending breakdown. This version has no advertising trackers or analytics scripts.
