Use The Main CalculatorThese calculators provide hypothetical estimates only and do not guarantee future investment returns.
How to Choose the Right Calculator
Each tool answers a different parent question. Start with the main Child Wealth Calculator when you want to explore a monthly contribution and a future goal age. Use the Birthday Money Calculator when gifts are the main source of contributions, the Expense Ratio Calculator when you want to understand how recurring fund fees can affect long-term growth, and the College Debt Avoidance Calculator when you want to compare a savings projection with a future education-cost target.
Use the tools as comparisons, not promises
All projections on this site are hypothetical. Markets do not grow at a fixed rate every year, fees and taxes can change results, and future college costs are uncertain. The most useful way to use a calculator is to change one assumption at a time—monthly contribution, years invested, starting balance, or expected return—and notice which inputs have the biggest effect.
A simple three-step process
- Run a baseline. Enter what you could realistically do today.
- Compare one alternative. Try a slightly higher contribution or an earlier start rather than changing every field at once.
- Choose a next action. Read the related guide or visit the age-based Journey page that matches your child.
These tools are intentionally simple so parents can understand the assumptions behind the numbers. If your decision involves account eligibility, taxes, financial aid, or specific securities, verify current rules before acting.
