Compound Interest Calculator Numbers Don't Lie · Afrika
Two numbers, not one

What will your money be worth — really?

Most calculators show you a big number and stop there. This one also shows what that money will actually buy once inflation has had its say, and how much of it your savings earned rather than you.

I have KES saved today.
I will add KES every month.
I expect % a year, for years.
Inflation runs at % a year.
Typical ranges

Those ranges are rough illustrations of where Kenyan funds have tended to sit, not forecasts and not a promise. Real returns move year to year, and past performance decides nothing about the future. Use your own figure if you have one.

Where that money came from

The line that matters is the second one. That is what your money earned while you were doing something else.

The shape of it

The pale band is your own money. The brass band is what compounding built on top of it. The dashed line is what the total is worth in today's shillings.

The number is only half the story

A projection is not a plan.

This shows what the maths does. It says nothing about whether the money would still be there if your income stopped, or whether the people who depend on you are covered. That takes a proper look.

This is a projection, not advice. It assumes a steady return every year, which no real investment delivers, and it ignores charges, taxes and withdrawals. Nothing here takes account of your own circumstances. Please talk to a licensed advisor before acting on any figure you see here.
