Key Features of the Calculator
These are the parts people tell us they use the most when planning savings goals, testing investment ideas, or simply getting a clearer view of their balance over time.
1️⃣ Instant Future Value Calculation
Add your starting amount, interest rate, and time period. The moment you hit enter, the calculator shows how your balance could grow.
2️⃣ Support for Regular Deposits
Want to invest monthly or weekly? Add your contribution amount and frequency. The calculator updates compounding and shows how deposits speed things up.
Perfect for: monthly savings plans, investment SIPs, and long-term saving habits.
3️⃣ Flexible Compounding Frequencies
Choose how often interest compounds: yearly, semi-annual, quarterly, monthly, or weekly. More frequent compounding usually means faster growth, so you can see the tradeoffs right away.
4️⃣ Detailed Year-by-Year Breakdown
See exactly how your balance changes each period. This helps you understand how much interest you earn, how contributions add up, and how your money grows in stages.
5️⃣ Charts and Visual Growth Graph
Visual graphs help you compare growth with deposits, without deposits, and how much interest versus principal makes up the final balance.
6️⃣ Withdrawals & Custom Scenarios
Simulate annual withdrawals, percentage withdrawals, or retirement-style drawdowns. It is useful for saving plans and for mapping how long a pot might last if you need to draw from it.
7️⃣ Works With Any Currency
The tool adapts to whatever currency you enter — no limitations.
Why Our Calculator Stands Out

- No login needed
- Mobile-friendly
- Powerful enough for detailed financial planning
Example: How Fast Can Your Money Grow?
Here is a quick scenario you can mirror:
- £5,000 starting balance
- 6% interest rate
- 10-year horizon
- £100 monthly deposit
The calculator instantly shows total balance, total interest, how much you contributed, and how much came from compounding. It is a quick way to picture long-term growth without manual math.
Tips to Maximize Compound Growth
- Start early: time is the strongest multiplier.
- Contribute consistently: even small monthly deposits add up.
- Pick realistic compounding: match the frequency to how your account pays.
- Delay withdrawals: give your interest more time to work.
- Step up over time: adding £10–£20 more each month can close gaps quickly.
