How to use

A 1% fee sounds tiny but compounds against you for decades. This shows the gap between returns with and without the fee.

Formula

Loss = P·(1+r)n − P·(1+r−f)n

FAQ

Why does a small fee matter so much?

It is subtracted every year and you lose all the compounding on that amount.

Does this include taxes?

No, it isolates the fee drag only.
