Our story

FutureValueCalc began in 2023 when our founder Zoe Kang needed a planning toolkit that balanced depth with simplicity for her advisory clients. Off-the-shelf calculators hid assumptions, so she decided to build one that showed every step.

Working with quantitative analysts and certified financial planners, we validated every formula against industry references and expanded to cover retirement, goal-based planning, and rate comparisons.

Today we combine deterministic calculators with AI-assisted planning and long-form education so you can understand the why behind each projection.

Editorial standards & expert review

Every article and calculator is reviewed by certified planners and quant researchers before release.
