No. The model uses assumptions such as: Compounding frequency remains unchanged across years.

Does this include recurring monthly contributions?

No. This model focuses on principal-only compounding in the current version.

Worked example

Example: $10,000 at 8% for 20 years, monthly compounding

Input: Principal: $10,000; Rate: 8%; Years: 20; Compounding: 12/year
