📈 Profit forecast: how the stock calculator works

Investing is a long game. Our tool helps you see the magic of compound interest: how small regular additions turn into solid capital in 10–20 years.

⚙️ What the algorithm takes into account:
  • Growth of the capital body: how much the shares themselves will rise in price.
  • Dividends:regular payments and their reinvestment.
  • Reality: adjustment for inflation and taxes.

Who needs this and why?

👶 For beginners

To understand the principle: “Money makes money”. You will see how even $100 a month turns into a significant amount in 10 years.

📊 For traders

To compare strategies. Which is better: growth stocks (without dividends) or dividend aristocrats? Count both options.

💼 Consultants

Use this tool as a visual demonstration for clients when drawing up an investment plan.

Example: The Power of Regularity

Many people underestimate small amounts. Look at the calculation below. With market returns (about 11% in total) and replenishment of only $500:

Option Value
Initial capital $10,000
Replenishment per month $500
Term 10 years
Total amount $148,723
* The calculation includes reinvestment of dividends and complex interest.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

🔹 How accurate are the forecasts?

The calculator gives a mathematically accurate model under given conditions. However, the market is unpredictable: real returns may differ due to crises or economic booms.

🔹 How is inflation taken into account?

In the advanced settings you can specify the inflation percentage. The system will show two results: Nominal (the number on the account) and Real (the purchasing power of this money).

🔹 Can bonds or ETFs be considered?

Yes. For bonds, in the “Dividends” field, enter the coupon income, and “Value growth” put 0% (if you hold it until maturity). For ETFs the principle is the same as for shares.
