What Is Compound Interest?
Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. Unlike simple interest, which only earns interest on the original amount, compound interest allows your money to grow exponentially over time.
The Compound Interest Formula
Where: A = future value, P = principal, r = annual rate, n = compounds per year, t = years, PMT = monthly contribution.
