Frequently asked questions

What is Wealth Growth Visualizer?

Compare up to three compound-growth scenarios side by side, with the contributions-vs-interest split.

When would I actually use this?

Comparing two investments that pay at different times, deciding whether a project clears its cost of capital, and sanity-checking a valuation someone else produced.

What is the most common mistake?

Trusting a valuation without asking what share of it comes from the terminal value. Past 70%, the answer is an assumption about the distant future dressed up as a calculation.

How is Wealth Growth Visualizer different from Percent Growth Rate Calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Percent Growth Rate Calculator is the one to open when you need it to compute the total change, simple annual growth and CAGR between two values. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Compound growth calculator is the closest one after this: Grow an initial value at a steady compound rate over a number of periods: final value, total gain and the overall percentage growth. Periods can be years, months or anything consistent.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Capital Gains Yield Calculator and Dividend Payout Ratio Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Discounting, IRR and payback are defined identically everywhere, so the arithmetic is not in dispute — the assumptions you feed it are. Change the discount rate by a point and re-read the answer.

ExplainerPrice Return, Total Return and Yield Are Three Different NumbersThe index quoted in the news is almost always a price index. At 5 percent price growth and a 2.5 percent reinvested yield, 30 years turn $10,000 into $43,219 on price and $90,656 on total return — the price measure misses 58.8 percent of the gain.ExplainerDividend Reinvestment: What Actually Drives the DifferenceReinvesting a 3 percent yield for 30 years turns 100 shares into 242.7 and multiplies the final position by exactly that factor: $32,434 becomes $78,726. Tax at 30 percent on each dividend costs $18,223 of it — nearly two and a half times the tax actually paid.ExplainerTax-Equivalent Yield: Comparing a Tax-Free Bond With a Taxable OneTaxable-equivalent yield = tax-free yield ÷ (1 − marginal rate). A 3.00 percent tax-free yield is worth 3.85 percent at a 22 percent marginal rate and 5.07 percent at 40.8 percent. The trap is that it is the marginal rate, surtaxes and social levies included — leaving them out costs 0.85 points of yield.ExplainerCompounding Frequency, and Where Continuous Compounding Comes From(1 + r/n)^n rises with n but converges on e^r. At 6 percent, monthly and continuous compounding differ by $1.59 on $10,000 over a year. At 24 percent the same gap is $30.07, and over thirty years it is 7.4 percent of the balance.ExplainerPresent Value vs Future Value: Why Money in Thirty Years Is Worth About an Eighth of Its FacePV = FV ÷ (1+r)^n. At 7 percent over 30 years the discount factor is 0.131, so a promise of $100,000 in thirty years is worth $13,137 today — and $41,199 if you assume 3 percent instead.ComparisonReal vs Nominal Return: Why Subtracting Inflation Is the Wrong AnswerAt 7 percent nominal and 3 percent inflation the real return is 3.883 percent, not 4. The Fisher equation divides, it does not subtract — and over 30 years the shortcut overstates a $10,000 pot by $1,072.
