Frequently Asked Questions

A step-up savings plan increases your monthly contribution by a fixed percentage each year. This mirrors typical salary increments and allows you to save more as your income grows, significantly accelerating long-term wealth accumulation.
Salary increments in Nigeria vary widely by sector. Private sector increments typically range from 10% to 20% per annum, though this depends on industry, company performance, and economic conditions. Public sector increments may follow a different schedule based on government policies.
By increasing your savings amount each year, the compounding effect is amplified. Even a modest 10% annual step-up can result in a significantly larger corpus compared to flat monthly contributions over the same period.
This calculator models regular monthly contributions with annual step-ups. If you receive a 13th-month bonus, you can model its effect by slightly increasing your monthly amount. Alternatively, treat bonuses as separate lump-sum contributions.
No. The figures are hypothetical estimates based on your inputs. Actual returns depend on market conditions, the specific investment vehicle, and other factors. This calculator is for illustrative purposes only.
