How Compound Interest Works

Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on interest. It's the result of reinvesting interest, rather than paying it out, so that interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously accumulated interest.

A = P (1 + r/n)nt

Where:

  • A = Future value of the investment
  • P = Principal investment amount
  • r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
  • n = Number of times interest is compounded per year
  • t = Number of years the money is invested

Our advanced algorithm extends this calculation to include regular contributions and provide detailed year-by-year breakdowns of your investment growth.

Compound Interest Questions & Answers

How accurate is this compound interest calculator?

Our calculator uses industry-standard formulas to provide highly accurate estimates. However, actual investment returns may vary based on market conditions and specific investment products. Always consult with a financial advisor for precise calculations.

Can I use this calculator for investments outside the US?

Yes! Our multi-currency support makes it suitable for investors worldwide. Simply select your currency from the dropdown menu before entering your investment details.

What is compounding frequency and why does it matter?

Compounding frequency refers to how often interest is calculated and added to your principal. The more frequent the compounding, the greater your returns. Daily compounding yields higher returns than annual compounding at the same interest rate.

How do monthly contributions affect my investment growth?

Regular monthly contributions significantly accelerate your investment growth through dollar-cost averaging and compounding. Even small monthly contributions can lead to substantial growth over long periods.

Does the calculator account for taxes or fees?

This calculator shows gross returns before taxes and fees. Actual returns may be lower depending on your tax situation and any investment fees. Consider these factors in your financial planning.
