FAQ

FAQ about ETF vs Savings and Fixed Deposit Calculator

Which is better: ETF, savings account or fixed deposit?

It depends on timeframe, risk and access to the money. The calculator shows a model value, not your personal risk capacity.

Why include inflation?

A nominal final value can look stronger than its purchasing power. The inflation-adjusted value gives a rough real-value perspective.

Is the tax calculation exact?

No. The tax rate is an optional flat deduction on positive gains. Allowances and local tax rules remain outside the model.
