DD Estimator Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the growth of your savings over time with annual contributions and compounding interest.
How to Use It
- Enter your initial deposit amount.
- Enter the annual contribution you plan to add to your savings every year.
- Enter the number of years you plan to save.
- Enter the annual interest rate you expect to earn.
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button to see the estimated total amount.
Calculation Method
The calculator uses the compounding interest formula with annual compounding periods. Each year, the total amount grows by the interest rate, and the annual contribution is added to this new total before the interest is applied the following year. The formula used is:
Total Amount = P (1 + r)^t + C [((1 + r)^t - 1) / r]
where P is the initial deposit, r is the interest rate, t is the number of years, and C is the annual contribution.
Limitations
This calculator assumes a consistent annual contribution and a fixed interest rate over the specified period, which may not reflect the variability in real-world savings conditions.
