It is a time management method that divides work into focus blocks interspersed with breaks. The classic format is 25/5, but it can be adjusted.

Generally 25 min focus and 5 min break. After 3–5 cycles, take a long break (15–30 min). For deep work, try 50/10.

Francesco Cirillo, in the late 1980s, using a kitchen timer shaped like a tomato (“pomodoro”).

List short tasks, select one per cycle, avoid switching focus, mark as completed and review at the end.

Ideally yes. The block is indivisible. If interruption is urgent, log it, resolve it and start a new Pomodoro.

Mute notifications, close irrelevant tabs, use Do Not Disturb and keep the phone out of sight.

Yes. Helps maintain rhythm, alternate reading, notes and review. Use breaks to consolidate and avoid fatigue.

Try 50/10 or 45/10. During the break, get up and do short breathing to recover focus.

Yes. Combine focus windows with the team and an emergency channel. Avoid meetings during cycles.

Use the number of cycles as unit of effort. Review daily the deviation between estimated and actual.

Reduce scope and go to 50/10 only if necessary. Train smaller and iterative estimates.

Stretch, hydrate and anticipate a long break. Adjust cadence and prioritize quality rest .

It projects the growth of your money considering interest on interest, with or without monthly deposits, showing final amount, total interest and month-by-month evolution.

Enter initial amount, monthly deposit (optional), rate (%), period and the unit (month or year). Then click Calculate.

You choose in the selector next to the rate field. The calculator converts to the correct periodicity before projecting.

By default, deposits are considered at the end of each period (ordinary annuity). To simulate at the beginning of the period, slightly increase the rate or add one period to the total.

Yes. Use a negative monthly deposit (e.g., -200) to represent recurring withdrawals.

Do separate simulations (with and without deposit) and add the results, or set deposit to 0 in the desired months and recalculate.

No. To approximate, reduce the net rate (e.g., gross rate − taxes − fees) before calculating.

Use real rate: approx. real ≈ (1 + nominal_rate) / (1 + inflation) − 1. Ex.: 12% p.a. with 6% inflation → ~5.66% p.a.

Yes. Negative rates simulate losses or deflation scenarios; the amount decreases over time.

Currency only changes the format/icon. There is no automatic conversion.

In simple interest, interest is applied only to the initial amount. In compound, each interest added also earns returns.

The periodicity follows your choice of rate (month or year). When switching, the calculator makes the equivalence before projecting.

The displayed values may have rounding for readability. For auditing, use more decimals or export the full table.

Very long periods with high rates may generate large numbers and slowness. If that occurs, reduce the rate or split the simulation.

Compound equivalence: i_month = (1 + i_year)^(1/12) − 1; i_year = (1 + i_month)^(12) − 1.
