Time is an input.
A longer horizon gives compounding more time, but does not remove investment risk. Keep money for near-term needs separate.

Read the assumptions before the result.
What happens with no investment growth?
Starting with $1,000 and contributing $200 per month for 10 years gives $25,000 at a 0% return. Contributions, not a forecast, account for every dollar in that example.
Is the displayed growth a prediction?
No. This calculator compounds a constant assumed nominal return monthly and adds contributions at month-end. Real returns vary and can be negative; fees, taxes and inflation are excluded.
How can I compare assumptions?
Change one input at a time and compare the contribution total with the growth component. Save the scenario as a learning exercise, not a promised future balance.
