The Contributions and Investment Returns chart on the Insights page shows you projections of contributions and investment account balances over the course of your plan.
There are many types of activities that may display on this chart:
Real Estate Investments: Gains from real estate sales modeled in My Plan > Home and Real Estate
Returns: Gains from investment growth by account based on growth assumptions entered My Plan > Accounts and Assets and the amount of interest paid toward debts modeled in My Plan > Debts (this is a negative return)
One Time Events: Lump sum contributions and Roth conversions modeled My Plan > Accounts and Assets and manual transfers modeled in My Plan > Money Flows
Monthly Savings: Monthly contributions to savings accounts modeled in your plan
Excess Income: Income in excess of savings contributions goals and expenses that are designated to an account in My Plan > Income
