Uob Stash Account Calculator
Calculate your UOB Stash account interest, savings, and maturity amounts with our free online calculator. Understand how compound interest grows your money over time.
How to Use This Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate how much your money will grow in a UOB Stash account using compound interest. Simply enter your initial deposit, monthly contribution, interest rate, and term length, then click "Calculate" to see your projected balance.
The calculator shows you the total amount you'll have at the end of the term, the total interest earned, and a growth chart. You can adjust any input to see how changes affect your savings.
Formula Used
The calculator uses the compound interest formula for regular contributions:
Future Value of Regular Contributions
FV = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × (((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)) × (1 + r/n)
Where:
- FV = Future Value
- P = Initial Principal
- PMT = Monthly Contribution
- r = Annual Interest Rate (as a decimal)
- n = Number of times interest is compounded per year (12 for monthly)
- t = Term in years
This formula calculates the future value of a series of regular payments (monthly contributions) with compound interest.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the future value of a UOB Stash account with these inputs:
- Initial deposit: $5,000
- Monthly contribution: $200
- Annual interest rate: 4%
- Term: 5 years
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
1. Convert annual rate to monthly: 4% ÷ 12 = 0.3333% or 0.003333 in decimal
2. Number of months: 5 years × 12 = 60 months
3. Future value of initial deposit: $5,000 × (1 + 0.003333)^60 ≈ $6,625.96
4. Future value of monthly contributions: $200 × (((1 + 0.003333)^60 - 1) / 0.003333) × (1 + 0.003333) ≈ $14,374.04
5. Total future value: $6,625.96 + $14,374.04 = $21,000.00
After 5 years, you would have approximately $21,000 in your UOB Stash account.
