Growth Methods available: Annual Growth Rate (e.g. 3%/year); Linked to Inflation Rate (grows at the global inflation rate — useful for multiple expenses that should move together; enter 0 for exactly inflation, positive number for above inflation); Annual Dollar Amount (grows by a fixed dollar amount per year); Continuous Growth Rate (compounds monthly — slightly higher than annual at same rate: 3% continuous vs 3% annual shows difference by year 3); One Time (single expense event — set start date to the month of the event, growth rate 0, view monthly to verify it fires only once — useful for one-time capital events expensed for tax).
