Formula Used

The calculator uses the compound interest formula to calculate your earnings:

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 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

For this calculator, we assume interest is compounded annually (n = 1).

Worked Example

Let's say you deposit $10,000 into a jumbo money market savings account with an annual interest rate of 3.5% for 5 years.

Using the formula:

Example Calculation

A = $10,000 × (1 + 0.035/1)^(1×5)

A = $10,000 × (1.035)^5

A ≈ $10,000 × 1.1816

A ≈ $11,816

After 5 years, your account balance would be approximately $11,816, with $1,816 in interest earned.
