We like to demonstrate ways Wolfram|Alpha can be a helpful tool for everyone. Today we’d like to share a cool feature Wolfram|Alpha users are talking about on the web. The Retirement Savior blog posted an item on Wolfram|Alpha describing how it can be used to calculate your retirement investments.
Wolfram|Alpha’s investment-returns calculator prompts you to describe your current investment strategy. Once you submit your query, Wolfram|Alpha will provide you with a number of results such as a linear chart depicting investment value projection scenarios, pie charts of resource allocation, a bar graph that allows you to easily compare the distribution of ages at which the account balance would reach zero, and a table displaying projections of your portfolio’s value at various ages.

Wolfram|Alpha features a number of tools that come in handy for personal and professional finance. The investment-returns calculator is just one example. To explore further, please visit our money and finance examples.
Unfortunately United Kingdom Government decisions and recessions are not forseeable in this connection1.
.In the UK a £5 Billion tax on the diividends of pension funds was suddenly imposed.
The Bank Rate which affects most returns is unforsseeable. In the UK where it is very hard to borrow one would expect a high rate of interest but the Bank Rate is now Half a percent while credit card interest can be 45%
For years the Government led us to believe that company pension funds were guaranteed then when one went bust we were told they are not guaranteed.
You cannot forsee inflation. The government tried to set it at 2% but has suddenly started printing money at the rate of £200 Billion a year to finance overspending.
A pension of £10 a week would have looked very good in 1950. Now it will buy a few newspapers.
It is really interesting to see the rise of the investment overtime. It really inspires people that stocks can be somewhat profitable.
Fooling around I discoverd this. Its amazing! I am very surprised!
Kind regards,

Enter Loan or Mortgage. A new screen will then allow you to enter the appropriate data concerning the loan (interest rate, length of loan, etc.) and then do the calculations for you.

Please give an explanation for the delay in placing the latest video on the blog despite saying it would appear soon.
Hello Brian,
Our team is sprucing up the video a bit so that you can view a high quality recording. We’ll post it online once it is available. Thank you for your patience!
Thanks….
I was rejected the first time I tried to say thanks because my message was too short. An acknowkedgement is very important in maintaining good communication so perhaps you could modify this page to either accept short messages or add a button to acknowledge receipt of a reply.
This isn’t exactly related to calculating my retirement… but I was wondering if you folks were going to offer a subscription service soon for more computationally intensive queries?
OK, so I’ve fiddled with your calculator and I’ve calculated that I’m going to be broke in my old age!
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
Pretty cool tool, automatically detected my currency. Thanks and best wishes to you guys.
