This is an educational estimate, not a guarantee. It assumes monthly compounding and even monthly contributions; actual returns, fees, taxes, eligibility, contribution categories and withdrawal rules can differ.
How this calculator works
The model starts with an optional $1,000 federal pilot contribution, adds the annual family and employer amount in equal monthly installments, and compounds the selected hypothetical return monthly. It reports estimated balances at ages 18, 28 and 65 so parents can see both the near-term and long-term effect of compounding.

Trump Account Calculator FAQs
Who may qualify for the $1,000 Trump Account contribution?
The federal pilot contribution generally applies to eligible U.S. citizen children born from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028 who have a valid Social Security number. Confirm eligibility with the IRS and Form 4547 instructions.
What is the 2026 annual contribution limit?
IRS guidance sets a $5,000 aggregate annual limit during the growth period for regular contributions. Certain categories—including the federal pilot contribution, qualified general contributions and rollovers—are excluded from that limit.
Are calculator returns guaranteed?
No. The return is only an assumption. Market performance, investment options, fees, timing, taxes and future law changes can make actual results materially different.
Can I contribute more than the child receives from the federal government?
Yes, eligible family members, employers and other permitted contributors may add funds, subject to applicable limits and rules. Contributions began July 4, 2026.
