Project your investment growth with regular contributions and compound returns
| Year | Contributed | Growth | Balance |

The stock market has historically returned about 10% annually (about 7% after inflation). Time in the market is your greatest advantage — even modest monthly contributions can grow into substantial wealth over decades thanks to compound returns.
A quick way to estimate how long it takes to double your money: divide 72 by your expected annual return. At 8% returns, your money doubles roughly every 9 years. At 10%, every 7.2 years.
