What’s driving this

Of your projected $369K, 46% comes from contributions and 54% from compound growth. Investment returns are the larger driver—compound growth accelerates as your balance grows. Extending the time horizon or increasing your expected return would raise the ending balance, while a longer horizon also gives compound growth more room to compound. Your 3% annual contribution increase adds meaningfully to the total over 20 years.
