How It Works

Compound interest accelerates wealth accumulation because returns generate their own returns. Enter your starting principal, expected annual interest rate, duration in years, and optional monthly deposits.

Formula & Logic

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)]
Example: Starting with $10,000 at 8% annual return with $200 monthly contributions for 10 years results in $58,359 ($34,000 principal + $24,359 interest).

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about calculations, assumptions, and edge cases.

The more frequently interest is compounded (e.g. monthly vs annually), the faster your money grows, as interest is added to your principal more often.
