Notes:

  • Returns are annual and compounded monthly for projection purposes.
  • Tax rate applies to investment/savings returns unless the investment is tax-favored.
  • This tool illustrates trade-offs: saving is lower-return and more liquid; investing carries higher expected return and higher risk.
