Formula Used
The calculator uses the compound interest formula:
Where:
- Initial Deposit - The amount of money you start with
- Interest Rate - The annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal)
- Compounding Frequency - How often the interest is compounded (daily, monthly, quarterly, annually)
- Term Length - The number of years the money will be invested
Total Interest Earned = Future Value - Initial Deposit
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit $10,000 at an annual interest rate of 3%, compounded monthly, for 5 years.
Future Value = $10,000 × (1 + 0.03/12)^(12 × 5) = $11,596.25
Total Interest Earned = $1,596.25
This example shows how your savings grow over time with compound interest.
