Our projections use historical market data and Monte Carlo simulations to provide realistic ranges. While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, these models account for typical market cycles, volatility, and long-term trends. We recommend using multiple scenarios (optimistic, baseline, conservative) for comprehensive planning.
Fees have a dramatic impact on long-term returns. A 1% annual fee can reduce your final portfolio value by 25-30% over 30 years. For example, on a $1 million portfolio growing at 7% annually, a 1% fee costs approximately $300,000 in lost growth over 30 years. Always factor in management fees, expense ratios, and transaction costs.
Inflation erodes purchasing power over time. At 3% annual inflation, $1 million today will only have the purchasing power of about $412,000 in 30 years. Our calculator adjusts for inflation to show your real returns (after inflation) so you can plan for actual purchasing power needs.
