The Power of Just 1%

TSP Guru’s backtested strategy beat the market by a wide margin. TSP Guru shares research and tools to help you make calmer TSP decisions. Here’s how a 1% difference can compound over time.

Suppose you're starting from scratch and contributing $10,000 annually ($384.62 each bi-weekly pay period). Here’s how much more your TSP could grow by simply adding an extra 1% per year to your returns:

  • After 30 Years (example):

    • C Fund (11%): Approximately $2,356,778

    • Strategy (12%): Approximately $2,941,364

    • Difference: +$584,586
