Formula Used
The calculator uses the compound interest formula to calculate the future value of your account:
Future Value Formula
Future Value = Initial Balance × (1 + Interest Rate/100)^Time Period
Total Interest = Future Value - Initial Balance
Where:
- Initial Balance is your current account balance
- Interest Rate is the annual percentage rate
- Time Period is the number of years
Worked Example
Let's calculate the future value of an Epic account with:
- Initial Balance: $10,000
- Interest Rate: 5% per year
- Time Period: 5 years
Using the formula:
Calculation
Future Value = $10,000 × (1 + 0.05)^5
Future Value = $10,000 × 1.27628
Future Value = $12,762.80
Total Interest = $12,762.80 - $10,000 = $2,762.80
After 5 years, your account would be worth $12,762.80, with $2,762.80 in total interest earned.
