Calculate how your investment grows over time with compound interest.
How It Works
The Compound Growth Calculator uses the power of compound interest to predict how your money grows over time. Here’s the simple formula it follows:
Future Value = Principal × (1 + (Rate / Frequency))^(Frequency × Time)
Let’s break it down:
- Principal: The initial amount of money you invest.
- Rate: The annual interest rate, expressed as a percentage.
- Frequency: How often the interest is compounded—yearly, quarterly, monthly, or daily.
- Time: The number of years your money will grow.
For example, if you invest $1,000 at a 5% annual interest rate, compounded monthly for 10 years, the calculator will show you how much your investment will grow over that time. It’s like having a financial time machine!
Example Calculations
| Principal ($) | Rate (%) | Frequency | Time (Years) | Future Value ($) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | 5 | Monthly | 10 | 1,647.01 |
| 5,000 | 7 | Quarterly | 15 | 14,107.55 |
| 10,000 | 3 | Annually | 20 | 18,061.11 |
| 2,500 | 4 | Daily | 5 | 3,057.38 |
