How it works

  • Your annual return is converted to a monthly rate (annual ÷ 12) and compounded monthly.
  • Contributions are added at the end of each month — the standard, conservative assumption.
  • The chart's green is money you put in; the gold is compounding doing its quiet work.

Keep in mind

  • Real returns are lumpy — this smooth line is an illustration, not a promise.
  • Fees, taxes, and inflation aren't modelled here. A 6% return with 2% inflation is really ~4% of buying power.
  • Not financial advice. Past performance doesn't predict future results.
Where should this growth live? Use the TFSA estimator and RRSP calculator to see your tax-sheltered room — growth inside them is tax-free or tax-deferred.
