How the Gold Wealth Target Is Calculated

Future Current Assets = Current Assets × (1 + Return)^Years

Future Contributions = Monthly Contribution × Annuity Growth Factor

Funding Gap = Target − Future Current Assets − Future Contributions

The calculator separates current assets and recurring contributions so you can see which part of the plan is doing the work.

Wealth Target Versus Gold Weight Target

A wealth target is denominated in money and therefore depends on gold's future price. A weight target focuses on physical grams and does not require a future price assumption.

Use the Funding Gap to Test Different Plans

Try higher contributions, a longer horizon or different return assumptions to see which variable closes the gap most effectively.

This is a planning model and not individualized investment advice.
