This is your growth expressed as a steady per-year rate (compounded). It answers: “what yearly return does this equal?” — so you can compare it against a bank, a fund, or property.vs ROI: ROI is the total growth over the whole term. IRR is the speed per year. Over 1 year they match. Longer than a year, ROI looks bigger because each year compounds on the last.

Your total growth across the entire term: Total Returns ÷ Total Deposited. It answers: “start to finish, how much did my money grow?” It does not care how long it took.vs IRR: IRR is the annual rate (speed per year). ROI is the final scoreboard (total). A lower yearly IRR running more than a year still stacks up to a higher total ROI — that’s compounding.

📈 Balance Growth — Compound vs Simple vs Money You Invested

Compound i Compound Interest — you earn returns on your capital plus all the profit you’ve already made. Profit makes its own profit — the snowball. Grows on a curve that gets steeper over time.R10,000 at 9%/mo, profit re-invested → ~R28,100 after 1 year, ~R1.67M after 5 years. Simple Interest i Simple Interest — you earn returns on your original deposit only. Profit is never re-invested, so you make the same amount each month. Grows in a straight line.R10,000 at 9%/mo → flat R900/mo. R20,800 after 1 year. R64,000 after 5 years. Total Invested i Total Invested — the actual money you put in (starting capital + every monthly addition). The gap between this line and the gold line is your growth — money your money earned for you.Add a Monthly Addition on the left and watch this line step up.

📊 Monthly Earnings

💡 What this shows Each bar is the profit you earn in that single month. Notice they get taller over time — that’s compounding. Because last month’s profit is re-invested, this month earns on a bigger balance, so each month pays more than the one before.

🍩 Returns Breakdown

💡 What this shows The split between money you put in (dark) and profit the system made for you (gold). The bigger the gold slice, the harder your money worked. Over a long term the gold slice dwarfs your deposit — that’s the goal.

💡 Want the full explanation? Simple vs Compound Interest

Simple Interest

You earn returns on your original deposit only. Your profit is never re-invested, so each month you make the same amount. It grows in a straight line.

R10,000 at 9%/mo → flat R900 profit every month. After 1 year: R20,800.

Compound Interest

You earn returns on your capital plus all the profit you’ve already made. Your profit makes its own profit — the snowball. It grows on a curve that gets steeper over time.

R10,000 at 9%/mo, profit re-invested. After 1 year: ~R28,100. After 5 years: ~R1.67M.
Gold line = Compound growth (profits re-invested)  •  Blue dashed = Simple interest (profits withdrawn)  •  Grey dashed = Total money you actually invested

The gap between the grey line and the gold line is your growth — money your money earned for you. Add a Monthly Addition (DCA) on the left and watch the grey “invested” line step up while the gold line pulls away even faster. That widening gap is the whole point of compounding.

What is the difference between IRR and ROI in the calculator?

IRR is the annual growth rate expressed as a steady per-year rate. ROI is the total return on investment from start to finish across the entire term.
