Compound Interest Calculator

The Compound Interest Calculator is a tool designed to help you estimate how your investments could grow over time by reinvesting returns.

By adjusting factors such as starting amount, contributions, return rate, and time horizon, it allows you to see how compounding, earning returns on both your original investment and previous gains, can significantly increase long-term wealth.

The Portfolios

(Almost) Daily Dividend Pie

The Almost Daily Dividend Pie is a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying companies hosted on the Trading212 platform. It is designed so that the dividend payment dates of the holdings are spread throughout the year, which can result in dividends being received on many days and create the effect of “almost daily” income.

UK Income Factory Pie

The UK Income Factory Pie is a diversified portfolio of primarily UK-listed dividend-paying companies hosted on the Trading212 platform. It is designed to focus on businesses that generate reliable income, which can provide exposure to consistent dividend payments while maintaining diversification across sectors.

Metronome Portfolio

The Metronome Portfolio is an investment approach designed to balance income generation with long-term growth. The strategy is structured in three layers: a foundation of dividend-paying investments, a middle layer of accumulating ETFs focused on long-term capital growth, and a small top layer of higher-risk opportunities.

The Boring Middle

The Global ETF Pie is a diversified portfolio focused on long-term growth through a single globally diversified ETF hosted on the Trading212 platform. It is designed to provide exposure to thousands of companies across developed and emerging markets while allowing dividends to be automatically reinvested for compounding.
