Note
This projection applies the displayed standard formula to the costs and rates you entered and assumes they repeat, unchanged, every single period. Real households do not work that way: prices, incomes, interest rates and family circumstances all move, and a single unplanned event can outweigh years of the schedule below. The model ignores taxes, fees, benefits, grants and anything you did not enter, and costs of this kind vary enormously from one country to another. Treat the figures as an illustration of the arithmetic, not a forecast or financial advice, and consult a licensed adviser before acting on any of them.

What counts as net worth in this projection?+
Net worth is total assets (savings, investments, home equity, retirement accounts) minus total liabilities (mortgage, loans, credit card debt) — the projection grows this figure forward using your assumed savings rate, investment return, and debt paydown.
Why does a small change in assumed return rate shift the projection so much?+
Investment growth compounds, so a 1-2 percentage point difference in assumed annual return, applied over 20-30 years, produces a dramatically different ending balance — this is why the calculator is sensitive to that one input.
Should I include my home equity in net worth projections?+
It's common to include it, but be aware home equity is illiquid — you can't spend it without selling or borrowing against it — so some planners prefer to track it separately from liquid investable net worth.
How does paying down debt affect the projection compared to investing?+
Paying down high-interest debt guarantees a return equal to that interest rate, while investing carries market risk — the calculator can show both paths, but the debt payoff is the more certain of the two.
Why does the projection show net worth growing faster in later years?+
This is compounding at work — as your invested balance grows, the same percentage return produces a larger dollar gain each year, so growth accelerates even if your savings rate and return assumption stay constant.
