This calculator is an educational tool. It shows a simple, fixed-rate projection: it assumes your money grows at the same rate every year with no interruptions, and it ignores taxes, fees, inflation, market volatility, sequence-of-returns risk, and changes to your contributions or circumstances. Real investment returns vary widely year to year and can be negative. Past performance does not predict future results.
The numbers shown are hypothetical illustrations, not a forecast, a promise, or a recommendation, and nothing here is investment, tax, legal, or financial advice or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Paycheck Paradox is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or tax advisor.
Before making any financial decision, talk to a qualified professional — a licensed financial advisor, CPA, or attorney — who can account for your full situation. You are solely responsible for your own decisions.
