Formula Used

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

Future Value = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)

Where:

  • P = Principal amount (initial deposit)
  • r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
  • n = Number of times interest is compounded per year
  • t = Time the money is invested for, in years

This formula calculates the future value of your investment considering compound interest.

Worked Example

Let's say you deposit $5,000 in a BBVA savings account with a 2% annual interest rate, compounded monthly, for 5 years.

Future Value = 5000 × (1 + 0.02/12)^(12×5)

Calculating step by step:

  1. Monthly interest rate = 0.02/12 = 0.0016667
  2. Number of months = 12 × 5 = 60
  3. Future Value = 5000 × (1.0016667)^60 ≈ $5,425.50

After 5 years, your $5,000 deposit would grow to approximately $5,425.50 with monthly compounding.
