How do I calculate my future net worth?

Future net worth is calculated using compound interest: Current Net Worth × (1 + return rate)^years, plus monthly contributions. Our calculator shows how your wealth grows over time with regular savings and investment returns.

What is a good annual return for UK investments?

UK investors can expect: Savings accounts: 3-4%, Bonds: 4-6%, FTSE 100: 7-8%, Global equities: 8-10%. A 7% return is realistic for long-term diversified portfolios. Higher returns come with higher risk.

How much should I save monthly for retirement?

A general rule is 15-20% of your income. For example, if you earn £40,000/year, save £500-£650 monthly. At 7% return over 30 years, £500/month grows to £610,000. Use this calculator to find your personal savings target.

What is the average UK net worth by age?

UK average net worth by age (ONS 2026): Under 35: £80,000, 35-44: £220,000, 45-54: £365,000, 55-64: £520,000, 65+: £450,000. Your future net worth can be higher with consistent saving and investing.
