Trading compound interest simulator

Simulate how a trading account would grow with a daily or monthly percentage, reinvesting profits and with periodic withdrawals. Illustrative tool.

For information only. Not financial advice. Always check your broker's conditions before trading.

How it works

Simulate how a trading account would grow if you earned a fixed percentage every day or month, reinvesting profits and, if you wish, withdrawing a fixed amount each period.

It is an educational tool: it shows how powerful compound interest is and why promises of fixed daily returns are unrealistic.

How it is calculated

FAQ

Is making 1% a day realistic?

Not consistently. 1% a day for 250 days multiplies the account more than 12 times; the world's best fund managers are nowhere near that.

So what is it for?

To set goals with perspective, see the effect of withdrawals and check that a modest, steady monthly return already produces remarkable results.
