How Interest Compounds in Savings Accounts

Savings accounts typically offer interest that compounds over time. This means your interest earnings earn additional interest, leading to exponential growth of your balance. The formula for compound interest is:

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 calculator uses this formula to determine your projected balance. The more frequently interest is compounded, the higher your final balance will be.

Note

This calculator provides estimates based on the information you provide. Actual results may vary due to factors such as account fees, changes in interest rates, or other banking policies.

Example Calculation

Let's say you deposit $1,000 in a TD Savings Account with an annual interest rate of 2%, compounded monthly, for 5 years.

Year	Balance	Interest Earned
0	$1,000.00	$0.00
1	$1,020.18	$20.18
2	$1,040.75	$20.57
3	$1,061.71	$20.96
4	$1,083.07	$21.36
5	$1,104.84	$21.77

After 5 years, your account would grow to approximately $1,104.84, with $104.84 in total interest earned.

Comparison of Interest Rates

Here's a comparison of how different interest rates affect your savings over 5 years with a $1,000 initial deposit, compounded monthly:

Interest Rate	Balance After 5 Years	Total Interest Earned
1%	$1,051.16	$51.16
2%	$1,104.84	$104.84
3%	$1,160.44	$160.44
4%	$1,217.98	$217.98
5%	$1,277.48	$277.48

As you can see, even a small difference in interest rates can significantly impact your savings over time.
