Project a gold holding's future value from an assumed annual return, time horizon and recurring contributions. See how much comes from contributions versus modeled growth.
For a zero return, contributions are simply added without growth.
Gold prices do not grow at a constant rate in actual markets. A single assumed return is therefore best treated as a scenario, with alternative return assumptions tested alongside it.
The contribution and growth outputs make it easier to see whether the projected value is primarily driven by new capital or by the return assumption.
Yes, provided the resulting growth factor remains mathematically valid for the chosen period.
The model treats them as regular contributions using monthly compounding.
No.
