Future Value Calculator
Project what money today grows to at a chosen rate over time.
Project a lump sum forward
Money left to grow at a compound rate multiplies over time, and future value tells you where a sum today will land. Enter an amount, a rate, and the number of periods to see the projected total.
At 5% per year, 1,000 grows to about 1,629 after ten years — the extra 629 is compounding at work. Nudge the rate or the time horizon and the effect grows quickly, which is why starting early matters.
Accurate and private
