Calculate the future value of your investment or loan with compound interest.
How It Works
The Compound Interest Calculator uses a straightforward formula to determine the future value of your investment or loan. Here’s how it breaks down:
Future Value = Principal Amount × (1 + (Annual Interest Rate / Compounding Frequency)) ^ (Compounding Frequency × Time Period)
This formula takes into account the initial amount you invest (Principal), the annual interest rate, how often the interest is compounded (frequency), and the number of years you plan to invest. The result? A clear picture of how your money grows over time.
