How to Use the Trading Calculator
To use this trading calculator, please follow these steps:

How it Calculates the Results
The calculator works by iterating over each year and applying the annual return rate to the current value of your investment. Additionally, it adds the annual contribution at the end of each year before proceeding to the next year.
The formula applied each year is:
Future Value = (Current Value * (1 + Annual Return Rate)) + Annual Additional Contribution
Limitations
This calculator assumes a constant annual return rate and does not account for fluctuations in the market. It also does not take into account taxes, fees, or other potential expenses that might impact the final result. Always consider consulting with a financial advisor for a more detailed and personalized financial plan.
