How Goal Planning Works
Future Value Calculation
Future Value = Goal Amount × (1 + Inflation Rate)^Years
Accounts for purchasing power erosion
Required Savings
Monthly Contribution = (FV - PV × (1 + r)^n) × r ÷ [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where r = monthly return rate, n = months
Investment Growth
Investment Growth = Total Value - Total Contributions
Shows power of compounding
Asset Allocation
Based on time horizon and risk tolerance
Longer goals = more equity, shorter goals = more debt
