Project your ETF investment growth — monthly contributions, expected return and expense ratio impact.
An ETF calculator projects how your exchange-traded fund investment could grow over time. Enter your monthly contribution (or lump sum), expected annual return and the fund's expense ratio to see your projected value, total contributions and the true cost of fees.
Example: You invest AED 1,000/month for 10 years at 8% annual return with a 0.07% expense ratio. Projected value: ~AED 182,000, of which ~AED 120,000 is your contributions and ~AED 62,000 is growth. Total fees paid: under AED 1,000 — showing why low-cost ETFs win.
It projects the future value of regular ETF investments based on your contribution, expected return, timeframe and the fund's expense ratio.
The expense ratio is charged every year on your total balance. Even 1% vs 0.1% compounds into a huge difference over 20-30 years.
Broad market ETFs have historically returned ~7-10% annually before inflation, but past performance does not guarantee future results. Use conservative estimates.

Lump sums invested earlier usually win mathematically, but monthly investing (dollar-cost averaging) reduces timing risk and suits salaried investors.
