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.
