Assumptions: These hypothetical examples of savings are based on weekly contributions made at the beginning of the week to a tax-deferred retirement account earning an 8% annual rate of return compounded weekly over a 20-year period. Your own investment returns may be more or less than this example, and income taxes will be due when you withdraw from your account. Investing in this manner does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss in declining markets.
