Formula Explained
The calculator uses the compound interest formula:
Compound Interest Formula
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
- A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
- r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years
The interest earned is calculated as A - P.
Worked Example

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between APR and APY?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual interest rate, while APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes the effect of compounding interest. APY is always higher than APR for compounded accounts.
How often should I compound my interest?
More frequent compounding (daily, monthly) yields higher returns over time. However, the difference becomes smaller with higher interest rates.
Is compound interest taxable?
In most countries, interest income is taxable. Check with your local tax authority for specific rules regarding savings account interest.
