To calculate the forecasted earnings of an investment, enter the beginning balance, the amount you plan to add to your investment (if any) at the specified intervals, the interest rate you expect to earn and the compounding interval, and the number of years you expect to allow your investment to grow. Since varying deposit and compounding intervals lead to very complex calculations and considering the actual earnings of an investment may be calculated using any one of several methods, the results calculated by this tool should be considered as estimates only.

Note: When entering numbers into the data fields only use numbers and applicable decimal points. Entering commas, dollar signs, or any other non-numeric characters will cause an error.
