CompoundFX Goal Mode on iPhone solving for the 9.39% annual return needed to grow $100,000 plus $500 a month to $1,000,000 in 20 years

Everything You Need to Plan and Grow

The full calculator is free. Pro adds tools for planning toward a goal and weighing one strategy against another.

Goal Mode (Pro)

Know Your Goal. Find Your Path.

A standard projection works forward: you enter a starting amount, a rate, and a time frame, and CompoundFX shows where you end up. Goal Mode works backward: you enter the target, and it solves for the rate of return, time horizon, starting principal, or monthly contribution you need to get there.

Worked example

To reach $1,000,000 in 30 years from a $25,000 starting balance, at a 7% annual return, you need to contribute $653.37 a month.

Required monthly contribution
$653.37
Total deposited, including the $25,000 start
$260,213
Supplied by compound growth
$739,787

Assumptions: a constant 7% annual return compounded monthly, deposits at the end of each month, before inflation and taxes. Calculated with this site's shared calculation engine; results in the app change with your settings.

Scenario comparison (Pro)

Compare Strategies Side by Side

Save as many scenarios as you like, then compare them side by side. CompoundFX highlights the variables that differ between your plans, the total dollar impact of those differences, and when one strategy pulls ahead of the other.

Built for Real-World Assumptions

Real growth depends on more than one interest rate. These adjustments are all included in the free download.

  • Inflation, tax, and expense-ratio adjustments

    Adjust projections for inflation, taxes, and fund expense ratios.

  • Annual or deferred tax treatment

    Choose annual or deferred tax treatment for your projection.

  • Custom contribution schedules

    Contribute daily, weekly, semimonthly, monthly, or annually.

  • Custom compounding intervals

    Compound anywhere from daily to annually, including semimonthly.

  • Deposit timing

    Make deposits at the start or the end of each period.

  • Flexible duration

    Enter your time horizon in years, months, weeks, or days.

Every projection is an estimate based on the inputs you provide, not a guarantee of actual investment performance.
