How to read this result
Three useful checks, kept deliberately short.
RM10,000 earns 5% a year for 10 years with RM500 added at the end of every month: Starting principal growth β RM16,470.09 Β· Total monthly contributions = RM500 Γ 120 = RM60,000 Β· Combined future balance β RM94,111.23.
The model assumes a fixed rate and consistent contributions. It excludes withdrawals, fees, taxes and changing returns.
Formula and assumptions
Future Balance = Principal growth + the compounded future value of each regular contributionMore frequent compounding produces a slightly higher balance when the nominal annual rate is unchanged. Contributions made at the beginning of a period receive one more period of growth than contributions made at the end.
Keep in mind: This is an estimate using a constant rate; actual returns, fees and taxes may differ.
