Retirement example
Invest $100 a Month From 25 to 65
This scenario page shows why small amounts matter when the time horizon is long. Forty years gives compounding enough room to do real work, even when the monthly contribution looks modest at first glance.
Example result at 7% annual return
A $100 monthly contribution over 40 years adds up to $48,000 of contributions. With a 7% return assumption and monthly compounding, the ending value is far higher because the growth comes from both time and consistency.
