What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest earned on the initial investment plus any interest that has been earned. It is calculated by multiplying the initial investment by the interest rate and then adding the interest earned to the initial investment. This process is repeated for each year of the investment.

How Is Compound Interest Calculated

The Compound Calculator uses the following formula to calculate the future value of an investment:

Future Value = Initial Investment * (1 + Interest Rate / Compound Frequency) ^ (Compound Frequency * Number of Years)

The formula takes into account the initial investment, the interest rate, the compound frequency, and the number of years the investment will be held for. The compound frequency is the number of times the interest is compounded per year. For example, if the interest is compounded monthly, the compound frequency is 12. If the interest is compounded quarterly, the compound frequency is 4. If the interest is compounded annually, the compound frequency is 1.
