Stochastic Returns & Normal Distribution Model
Understanding the mathematics of Monte Carlo wealth calculations.
1. Box-Muller Normal Return Generator
Unlike linear calculators that apply flat compound yields, Monte Carlo projections inject volatility into returns. In each year, the return is computed as a random normal variable using the **Box-Muller Transform**:
Where $U_1$ and $U_2$ are random numbers uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. The annualized rate of return is then calculated as `Expected Return + Z * Portfolio Volatility`.
2. Asset Correlation Modeling
Portfolio variance combines stock and bond weightings, adjusting for correlation ($\rho$) to reflect historical covariance cushions:
This calculation simulates asset cushioning during market drops, providing a highly realistic retirement survival mapping compared to plain linear interest tools.
