A dynamically updating retirement calculator with react
React Retirement Calculator
React Retirement Calculator is a front end application using recharts.js to provide a dynamically updating graph and user experience.
Background
React Retirement Calculator is a fun side project that I worked on while working at Fullstack Academy as a teaching fellow and software engineer.
I originally conceived of the idea for this calculator after a chapter of learning about personal finance. During that time, I had a favorite retirement calculator that just disappeared from the internet one day. So I figured I would try to recreate it and even improve upon it (since it was probably made in the early 2000's...)
This project is an updated version of a calculator I originally made in vanilla JS, HTML, and CSS.
The basic premise of this calculator is to show the power of compounding interest over time. This calculator has been a great asset for me when I need a little help with remembering to save money ;).
