Explain these results
“Total contributions” is just your starting investment. This calculator does not add monthly or yearly deposits. “Projected growth” is the difference between the ending value and what you started with.
The return is smoothed for the projection. Real investments rise and fall from year to year. Fees, taxes, withdrawals, extra deposits, and inflation can all change the amount you actually end up with.
