Formula Used

The calculation uses the compound interest formula:

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t) Where: A = Final amount P = Principal amount 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 accounts for the compounding effect, which means your interest earns interest over time, leading to faster growth than simple interest.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the future value of ₹10,000 invested at 4% annual interest rate, compounded monthly for 5 years.

Principal (P) = ₹10,000
Annual Interest Rate (r) = 4% or 0.04
Compounding Frequency (n) = 12 (monthly)
Time (t) = 5 years

Plugging these values into the formula:

A = 10,000 × (1 + 0.04/12)^(12×5) A = 10,000 × (1.0033)^60 A ≈ ₹12,216.37

After 5 years, your ₹10,000 investment would grow to approximately ₹12,216.37 with monthly compounding.
