WildComb Simulation
What does US$10,000 grow to if I invest it?
US$10,000 invested once becomes US$17,908 after 10 years at 6 % a year in this calculation.
Assumptions: US$10,000 to start, US$0 a month, 6 % a year, 10 years, compounded once a year, before costs and taxes.
Out of US$10,000 paid in, this simulation stands at US$17,908 after 10 years, US$7,908 of it from returns.
The simulator opens on the values of this example. Time turns freely, the other numbers with Pro.
Simulation, not a forecast and not investment advice.
wildcomb.appA single sum grows from its returns alone. After 10 years US$7,908 has been added, which is 44 % of the end amount.
Time works harder here than any payment. In the simulator the time dial shows what every further year brings, and you can add a monthly payment.
Frequently asked
All at once or in instalments?
The calculation knows both. In the simulator you can enter the same sum as a start or as a monthly payment and compare the ends.
Is this after tax?
No, before costs and taxes. The page on real return after tax and inflation works out what is left.
How long until it doubles?
The rule of 72 page works it out for any return, by the rule of thumb and exactly.
