Why this exists

Future Worth is a small, independent calculator built around one question: what does a purchase actually cost you, once you account for what that same money could have grown into if you'd invested it instead?

Most of us make big purchase decisions — a car, a house, a subscription we're not sure we need — using gut feeling rather than the numbers. This tool tries to make the tradeoff visible: enter what you're considering buying, and see it plotted against what that money could become in the market over time, in plain terms rather than a spreadsheet.

How it works

Every calculation on this site runs entirely in your browser using standard financial formulas — compound growth, loan amortization, and inflation adjustment. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored. The full methodology and every assumption behind the numbers is laid out in the Assumptions & disclaimers section at the bottom of the calculator.

What this isn't

Future Worth is an illustrative tool, not financial advice. It's meant to help you think through a decision more clearly — not to tell you what to do with your money. For anything with real stakes, talk to a licensed financial advisor.
