Can you link to the actual calculator you're using for that? That page you linked is just their homepage. I've never seen a calculator that accounts for a DRIP.

It's just a compound interest calculator https://www.getsmarteraboutmoney.ca/calculators/compound-interest-calculator/

Use this one to calculate the value with inflation (average historically is 3.25% over the last century) https://www.wealthmeta.com/calculator/compound-interest-calculator
