MORE INFORMATION ================ You can only type whole numbers in the Monthly Contribution and Interest Rate boxes. The monthly contribution must be a number between 1 and 9999, and the interest rate must be a number between 1 and 99999. You cannot type a COMMA (,) or PERIOD (.) in the Monthly Contribution box or the Interest Rate boxe. If the amount of time required to accumulate $1,000,000 is very long (for example, over 100 years), you are unable to see the entire results chart. NOTE: The Compound Interest InterActivity calculates the correct number of years you need to save $1,000,000, but it rounds the value to the nearest whole year.
