Question 1

Are mutual fund fees included in the projection?

Accepted Answer

Not by default. If you know the approximate fee drag, reflect it by lowering the assumed return or incorporating fees directly if your tool supports it.

Question 2

Is the return rate guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No. The return is an assumption. Market returns can vary, so use projections as scenario planning rather than a guarantee.

Question 3

What about taxes on dividends or capital gains?

Accepted Answer

Taxes depend on account type and jurisdiction. This calculator focuses on pre-tax growth assumptions unless the tool supports tax modeling.
