You expect to receive a payout of $12,200 from a trust fund in a certain number of years, and you plan to invest this money at an annual rate. To determine how much your investment will grow, you need to know the number of years until you receive the payout and the annual interest rate you expect to earn. Using an investment calculator, you can estimate the future value of your investment by entering:

• The initial amount ($12,200)
• The annual interest rate (your planned rate)
• The number of years you will invest the money

The investment will grow based on the principle of compound interest, where the interest earned each year is added to the principal for the calculation of the next year's interest

. If you provide the exact number of years and the annual interest rate, I can help you calculate the expected value of your investment after that period. If your question is about how to handle or invest trust fund money, trustees typically invest trust assets prudently, considering the trust’s purpose, term, and beneficiary needs. They often diversify investments and aim to balance growth with risk and tax efficiency

. Please share the number of years until payout and the expected annual rate of return for a precise calculation.
