Inflation-Adjusted (Real) Value
Nominal vs Real Investment Returns
Your projected future value shows the raw dollar amount your investment could reach. Its inflation-adjusted "real" value shows what that future amount would be worth in today's purchasing power, assuming your estimated inflation rate holds.
Are Investment Return Projections Guaranteed?
No. This calculator applies a constant assumed annual return, but real markets fluctuate year to year. Use a conservative return estimate for long-term planning, and revisit your projections periodically as actual results come in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are investment return projections guaranteed?
No. Projections use an assumed average annual return you choose; actual investment returns vary and are never guaranteed.
Should I account for inflation in my projections?
For long-term goals, using an inflation-adjusted ("real") rate of return gives a more realistic picture of future purchasing power.
