If contributions are made:

Future Value (FV) =
P(1 + r)^t + Contributions Growth

Where:

• P = current investment
• r = annual growth rate
• t = years

Step 2: Retirement Dividend Income

Annual Dividend Income =
Final Portfolio Value × Dividend Yield

Step 3: Monthly Retirement Income

Monthly Income =
Annual Dividend ÷ 12
