How Compound Interest Works

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest from previous periods. This creates a snowball effect where your money grows exponentially over time.

The more frequently interest is compounded, the faster your investment grows. This calculator lets you see the dramatic difference that compounding frequency can make to your long-term wealth.
