How to Use
Enter the initial investment in pounds, the assumed annual return as a percentage, and the number of years. Press Calculate to see the future value and the total growth.

The future value is the initial amount multiplied by one plus the annual return divided by 100, raised to the power of the number of years. Subtract the initial amount from the future value to get the growth.

FAQs
Is this a prediction?
No. It is a simple illustration using one steady return. Real returns vary from year to year.
Does it include fees or tax?
No. Fees, charges and tax are not included, so a real return could be lower.
What if the return is negative?
Enter a negative percentage and the calculator will show a lower future value.
