The same amount added at the end of every month, with the return you entered applied evenly and compounded monthly. Real returns are not even and can be negative, so the real figure may be well above or below this one. Prices rise, so this sum will buy less than it does today. Tax, fees and any employer contribution are left out. Not financial advice.
Questions
- What return should I enter?
- That is your call, and nobody knows the answer in advance. Try several. If the result changes a great deal between them, that spread is the honest answer.
