  • Year-by-year projection table
  • Summary metrics: final balance, total gains, gain percentage
  • Investment period flexibility (1-50 years)
  • Copy summary and CSV export

Calculations:

  • Compound interest with periodic contributions
  • Formula: FV = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)]
  • Where: P = initial, PMT = monthly contribution, r = annual rate, n = frequency, t = time
  • Gain percentage: (total gains / total contributed) × 100

Technical Implementation

Common Features Across All Tools

  • TypeScript with full type safety
  • React hooks (useState) for state management
  • Client-side rendering ("use client" directive)
  • Try/catch error handling with user-friendly messages
  • Input validation for all numeric inputs
  • Responsive design (mobile-first with grid layout)
  • Dark theme styling with slate/sky colors
  • Copy-to-clipboard functionality
  • Export options (CSV/JSON)
  • Ad unit integration with unique slot numbers

UI/UX Patterns

  • Form inputs with labels and validation messages
  • Summary cards displaying key metrics
  • Data tables with hover states
  • Color coding for values (green = gain/positive, red = loss/interest, sky = primary data)
  • Toggle buttons for showing/hiding detailed data
  • Clear action buttons with hover states
  • Accessibility: proper form labels, semantic HTML, contrast ratios

Validation

  • All monetary inputs: minimum 0 or greater
  • Percentage inputs: bounded ranges (interest -50% to 100%, tax 0-100%, etc.)
  • Period inputs: reasonable ranges (1-50 years maximum)
  • Required field checks with clear error messages
  • Division by zero protection in calculations
