This calculator offers a straightforward way to visualize the long-term impact of steady index fund investing versus trying to beat the market with individual stocks. It uses standard compound interest math to project your portfolio's growth based on your timeline and monthly contributions.

Still, it's a purr-fectly clear illustration of why slow and steady often wins the race.
