Investment calculator
See how your money could grow over time. Enter a lump sum or regular contribution and our investment calculator will project an estimated future value — then talk to a qualified financial advisor about putting a real plan in place.
Why use an investment calculator?
A simple projection can be a powerful motivator. Seeing the potential long-term value of investing — and the impact of starting sooner rather than later — helps you make confident decisions about your future.
Set a goal
Estimate what your investments could be worth and work backwards to the contributions needed to get there.
See the power of time
Compound growth rewards early starters. The calculator shows how time in the market can shape your outcome.
Plan with confidence
Use your projection as the starting point for a personalised investment strategy with a qualified advisor.

Assumptions used in this calculator
- A 95% fund allocation rate.
- An annual management charge of 1%.
- An exit tax rate of 38% on the growth in the funds.
These are illustrative assumptions only. Actual charges, allocation rates and tax treatment will depend on your specific product and circumstances.
The ingredients
What affects how your investment grows
A few key ingredients shape your projection — and small changes to any of them can make a big difference over time.
How much you invest
A lump sum, regular monthly contributions, or both — more going in means more potential growth.
How long you stay invested
Time lets compounding do the heavy lifting. Starting sooner usually beats investing more later.
Your attitude to risk
Higher-risk funds aim for higher returns, but with bigger ups and downs along the way.
Charges & tax
Fund fees and exit tax on growth reduce what you actually keep — so value for money matters.
The calculator gives an estimate based on the figures you choose. To build a real plan around your goals and pick funds that match your risk profile, see our investments service or talk to a Greenway adviser.
Investment calculator FAQs
How accurate is the investment calculator?
It gives an illustrative estimate based on the figures and risk level you choose. Real returns vary from year to year and aren’t guaranteed, so treat the result as a guide rather than a promise.
What growth rate does it assume?
The projection is based on the attitude-to-risk option you select, which maps to a different assumed growth rate. Higher-risk options assume higher potential returns — and bigger ups and downs along the way.
Is the projection financial advice?
No. The calculator is an information tool only. For a recommendation tailored to your circumstances and goals, speak to a qualified Greenway adviser.
Should I invest a lump sum or save regularly?
Either can work — and many people do both. A lump sum puts more to work sooner, while regular saving builds the habit and smooths out market ups and downs. The calculator lets you model both.
Do I have to give my details to use it?
We ask for a few contact details so we can send your results and follow up if you’d like. You’re never obliged to proceed, and your information is handled in line with our data protection policy.
