Frequently Asked Questions
How Net Worth Projections Work
This tool projects your net worth year by year using four factors: your starting net worth, annual savings (income minus expenses), income growth (raises and promotions), and investment returns. Each year's gains compound on top of previous years.
The key insight is that investment gains eventually dwarf your savings. For example, with $100K invested at 7%, you earn $7,000/year from investments alone — equivalent to saving $583/month. This crossover point, where investment returns exceed your contributions, is a major milestone on the path to FIRE.
