Hi Lobby, nice calculator! Ah, the beauty of compounding! I always feel richer after doing these calculations, don't you? :-) I haven't checked your algo in detail, but if you put Initial dep. 10000 $ Growth 0.05 Years 1 and everything else 0 you get at the end: 10512.7 $ Accumulated amount! Uhm...some people recently got in trouble with this kind of creative accounting. Anyway, could you please wire the virtual 12.7 $ into my virtual Cayman account? :-) I am not sure I understand why inflation should influence your accumulated amount. Inflation will determine the purchasing power of that amount, but not its nominal value. (perhaps you are making some specialized calculation of some specific financial instrument, but if so, this does not transpire from the labels). hth
