Editing Data in the Grid
The white colored columns in the grid on the right hand side may be edited. This allows for easily changing the interest rate or deposit value for future years.
Note: | Editing these values does not change the calculation on the left hand side. |
The two check boxes at the bottom of the grid are described below.
Carry Values Down Column Check Box
When checked, this will apply any editing in the current cell to all subsequent rows in the grid. For example, when checked and an interest rate is changed from 5% to 7% in year 10, all years after 10 are also changed. If it is not checked, then the change only applies to the selected year.

This makes the grid the full width of the calculator, and allows for comparing two accounts side by side. For more information, click here.
