Formula and assumptions
Formula: The goal cost grows with annual inflation; existing funds and stepped monthly contributions grow to the selected target date.
- The effective annual return is converted to an equivalent monthly rate.
- Monthly contributions are added at the beginning of each month and the step-up is applied annually.
- Goal cost inflation compounds annually over the elapsed target horizon.
- A target date of today is a snapshot with no future contribution period.
- Affordability compares the additional contribution with the surplus entered here or imported explicitly from a plan.
Value basis: nominal unless a result explicitly says “today’s money” or “inflation-adjusted.”
