Frequently Asked Questions

单利和复利有什么区别?

单利只在原始本金上计算。复利在本金加所有已累积利息上计算——'利滚利'。长期来看,复利呈指数增长而单利呈线性增长。例如1万美元7%利率30年:单利21,000美元,复利76,123美元。

每月定投的影响有多大?

由于定期定额和复利增长,每月定投影响巨大。1万美元7%利率20年一次性投资增长到38,697美元。但加上每月200美元增长到142,000美元以上——近4倍,尽管总投入仅58,000美元。

这些计算是税前还是税后的?

显示的是税前(总额)数字。利息/资本利得税后实际收益会更低,税率因国家和账户类型而异。税收优惠退休账户(401k、IRA等)可减轻或延迟税收影响。精确的税后预测请咨询理财顾问。
