Your contribution versus potential growth
Time gives compounding more opportunity to work. The green portion is hypothetical growth, not a guaranteed return.
Your money vs potential growth
For each duration, the navy part is what you contributed and the green part is the assumed investment growth at 12% per year. Growth is illustrative, not guaranteed.
