- You will find both a Turbo Pascal 3.01A and a Basic version of the
- IRA Calculator.
-
- The Basic version uses double precision so has more digits of accuracy.
- BELIEVE IT OR NOT the basic version runs about 1.5 times FASTER than the
- Turbo Pascal version.
-
- This calculation only adds interest at the end of the year and expects
- that the money is in the account for the full year.
-
- For the interest rate select a rate you HOPE will be an average rate you
- will obtain. If you only want to see what one account will earn after a
- # of years then only enter an amount of an initial investment. If you
- plan on opening an IRA every year until retirement then enter the amount
- at the yearly investment prompt.
-
- Try playing with the interest rate. you will see that when long periods
- of time are involved minor changes in the rate can make large changes
- in the final amount.
