This tool will help you quickly calculate your cost per employee (CPE).
How to Use the Calculator
To use this CPE (Compound Periodic Earnings) calculator, please follow these steps:
- Enter your initial investment amount in the “Initial Investment” field.
- Input the amount you plan to contribute annually in the “Annual Contribution” field.

How It Works
The calculator computes the future value of an investment based on the following formula:
F = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + (PMT[(1 + r/n)^(nt) – 1] / (r/n))
Where:
- P is the initial investment.
- r is the annual rate of return (decimal).
- n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year (assumed as 1 for yearly compounding).
- t is the number of years the money is invested for.
- PMT is the annual contribution.
Limitations
This calculator assumes that contributions are made at the end of each year and that the rate of return remains constant throughout the investment period. It does not account for taxes, fees, or inflation.
