How This Works
Investing a fixed amount every month lets each contribution compound for a different length of time — early contributions grow the longest. Over many years, the compounding growth typically outweighs the total amount contributed.
Formula
FV = PMT × (((1+r)ⁿ − 1) ÷ r) × (1+r)
where PMT = monthly amount, r = monthly rate, n = number of months
where PMT = monthly amount, r = monthly rate, n = number of months
Example
$500/month at 12% for 20 years grows to roughly $500,000 — with only about $120,000 of that actually contributed.
