This is an illustration, not a forecast or a promise. It is based on the assumptions shown, which are hypothetical and yours to edit. Actual returns may differ, sometimes significantly, and market-linked investments involve risk, including the possible loss of capital. Taxes, costs and inflation can change the outcome.
Assumptions behind these numbers
Default assumptions are hypothetical round numbers chosen for illustration. They are not forecasts and not a view on any product. Change them to see how sensitive the result is.

How it is calculated
- Inflation is an effective annual rate. Value in today’s money = future amount ÷ (1 + inflation)^years.
- The annual return is an effective annual (compound) rate; the periodic rate is (1 + annual rate)^(1/periods) − 1.
- Contributions are assumed at the start of each period.
- These figures are illustrations based on hypothetical assumptions, not forecasts. Actual returns may differ, and market-linked investments involve risk.

What to consider
Before you settle on a vacation number
Short horizon, stable money
With a year or two to go, steadiness matters more than growth. The default return here is deliberately modest.
Currency for trips abroad
International costs move with the exchange rate as well as with prices. Leave room for both.
A flexible date helps
If the date can move, the plan can too — a few more months of contributions lowers the monthly figure noticeably.
