Understanding the Retirement Savings Formula

The Retirement Calculator uses the following formula to estimate future savings:

$$ FV = P \times (1 + r)^t + M \times \frac{(1 + r)^t – 1}{r} $$

Where:

  • FV: Future Value (total retirement savings)
  • P: Initial savings (amount already saved)
  • M: Monthly contribution
  • r: Monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12)
  • t: Time period (in months)
