How your mix changes over time
Today, more of your money leans toward growth. As your goal gets closer, it gradually shifts toward steadier, more stable options — so a sudden drop right before you need the money hurts less.

How to read your allocation results
Your result is a percentage split across five asset classes — equities, bonds, real estate, gold, and cash — plus a risk profile from conservative to aggressive and a chart of how the mix should shift as your goal date approaches. If you enter a lump sum or monthly amount, the calculator also converts each percentage into an amount in your currency.
The most important input is years until you need the money, not your age: a longer horizon can absorb more short-term volatility. Your reaction to a 20% drop, experience, and income stability adjust the result from there. Full details are on the methodology page.
