Three ways in. Start anywhere.

Learn the basics, build a plan, or just ask. Each part works on its own, in any order.

%

An assumption, not a promise. Real returns change every year and can be negative.

Balance after 20 years
$95,718
You put in
$49,000
Growth
$46,718

Growth makes up 49% of the balance so far. Compounding speeds up the longer money stays invested.

How this is calculated

Each month, the balance grows by one twelfth of the yearly return, then your monthly amount is added:

balance = balance × (1 + 6% ÷ 12) + $200

It assumes the same return every year. It doesn't include inflation, fees or taxes, which all reduce real-world results.

Built to be trusted

Honest about money. Careful with your data.

  • Education, not advice.

    It explains options, trade-offs and risks. It never tells you what to buy or sell, and never promises returns.

  • Maths you can check.

    Projections and fees come from tested calculators, not the AI's own arithmetic, with the assumptions stated.

  • Honest about limits.

    For big or complicated decisions, it suggests a qualified professional, such as a fee-only fiduciary advisor.

  • Saved in your browser first.

    Your plan, budgets, chats and progress stay in this browser. Nothing goes to an account unless you create one.

  • No bank logins.

    Bring in transactions from a CSV file or screenshots. Sprout can't connect to your bank, move money or place trades.

  • Screenshots are read, not kept.

    Long account numbers are cut to the last four digits, and nothing is saved until you confirm.
