In detail: Compound Interest Calculator for £100,000 over 25 Years
£100,000 is a meaningful starting amount: over 25 years, even a modest 5% real return turns it into £338,635.49, and a stock-market-like 7% turns it into £542,743.26. The difference between those two rates — about £204,107.77 — is entirely the power of a slightly higher compounding base rate over 25 years.
Over a 25-year horizon, compounding does real work: more than half of the ending balance typically comes from growth rather than the original £100,000. A Stocks & Shares ISA sheltering the returns would preserve every pound of this; holding it in a general investment account would expose gains above the annual CGT allowance to tax.
Adding monthly contributions to the pot accelerates this substantially. Even £100/month on top of £100,000 at 5% pushes the 25-year total up to roughly £376,135.49, because each contribution gets its own compounding tail.
