The annualized return is closer to 42%.
Firstly, the midpoint, not the endpoint (which would yield the 22%), of the 35-year payout period should be used in the estimate, because the $22,888.92 was paid out gradually over this period.
Secondly, $49.50, not $24.75, was contributed, considering the employer's matching contribution, which is generally considered, in the long run, to reduce the employee's pay by an equal amount, since an employer has a predetermined amount he is willing to spend retaining an employee.
$49.50 x 1.42^17.5 = $22,890 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TTTAR (talk • contribs) 11:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC).
