New to investing? Start with one simple example. Discover how money can grow, what fees mean, and why time matters. No financial knowledge needed.
Chapter 01 / Time
Growth can earn growth too.
Imagine €10,000 growing by 5% each year. Keep that growth invested, and the next year’s 5% applies to a larger amount. This is called compounding.
The first two years, before fees
€10,000 → €10,500 → €11,025That’s €500 of growth in year one, then €525 in year two. You haven’t added any more money.
Follow the solid line to see this build over time.
Chapter 02 / Fees
Small fees can make a big difference.
Some investments charge a fee each year, often as a percentage of your money. Fees leave less money invested, so there is less left to grow.
Growth minus fees in this example
5% − 1.5% = 3.5% a yearA 1.5% fee on €10,000 is €150 in the first year of this simplified model.
The dashed line shows the same example after fees.
Chapter 03 / Try it
What happens if you change one thing?
Use the sliders below. Try fewer years, then more. Lower the yearly fee and watch the gap between the two lines change.
A simple experiment
Try setting yearly fees to 0%.The two lines meet because both examples now have the same growth and no fees.
These are made-up examples, not promised returns.
