The true cost of a savings account

This application lets you upload transaction data from your BNP or KBC savings account and simulates how your money could have performed if it had been invested in a selected fund. By adjusting parameters such as cash buffer, order size, taxes, and fees, the app illustrates the hidden opportunity cost of keeping money in a savings account. The goal is simple: to make the long-term cost of not investing visible and tangible.
