Interactive Scenario & Decision Matrix
Select your current objective to inspect the recommended benchmark, threshold, and verification path.
Nominal total is 447,156. Doubling at 8% would take about {rule72b} years; this row does not use that rate.
Briefing 11 for AI advice caveats aligns condition “Horizon honesty” with reference value 2 on the ground.
AI advice caveats: 2 (2026)Nominal total is 813,148. The extra deposit, not a higher rate, opens this gap.
Reading 12 of AI advice caveats uses “Future value (lump sum)” and figure 1 as a checkable baseline.
AI advice caveats: 1 (2026)Nominal total is 556,465. It still finishes below the 600-per-month row.
Atlas note 13 on AI advice caveats defines the operating range of 1 when “Future value (annuity-ish savings)” applies.
AI advice caveats: 1 (2026)Reading 4 of Auto-invest apps uses “Horizon honesty” and figure 2 as a checkable baseline.
Dossier 14 for Auto-invest apps links case “Horizon honesty” directly to metric 2 (2026).

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook
- Printed defaults — 10 000 principal, 300 monthly, 7% rate, 30 years, 0.2% fee, 2.5% inflation on load.
- Years and contributions win — Often beat a 1-point rate tweak on this baseline.
- Nominal vs real — Real line applies 2.5% inflation teaching.
- Fees nibble real — 0.2% annual fee on the net path — illustrative.
- Goal-gap second scenario — Snapshots A/B compare saved inputs, not advice.
Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check
Are these numbers a forecast or financial advice?
No. Defaults on this page are teaching values: start 10,000, 300 a month, 7% annual return, 30 years, 0.2% fee, 2.5% inflation. The disclaimer already says the outputs are educational scenarios, not personalised advice.
Which lever usually moves the end balance most?
Change one input at a time. Years and the monthly contribution typically dwarf a small rate tweak; fees and inflation cut the real (inflation-adjusted) line. The goal-gap snapshot compares two scenarios you save on this page.
Why is the contribution monthly if the rate is annual?
The page already states it: contributions are monthly; return, fee and inflation are annual rates compounded monthly. That matches the chart, not an annual lump-sum example.
What does goal-seek answer?
It solves for years to a target you type, using the same teaching model as the main form. It is not a retirement plan. If the target is out of range, the page reports that it cannot solve.
