Formula Used

The future value of your savings with compound interest is calculated using the following formula:

Future Value = Initial Savings × (1 + (Annual Interest Rate / Compounding Frequency))^(Compounding Frequency × Years)

Where:

Initial Savings = The amount of money you start with
Annual Interest Rate = The annual interest rate (in decimal form)
Compounding Frequency = How often the interest is compounded (annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly)
Years = The number of years the money is invested

This formula accounts for the compounding effect, where interest is earned on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to calculate the future value of $10,000 with an annual interest rate of 5% compounded monthly over 10 years.

Future Value = $10,000 × (1 + (0.05 / 12))^(12 × 10)

Future Value = $10,000 × (1.004167)^120

Future Value ≈ $10,000 × 1.6470

Future Value ≈ $16,470.00

After 10 years, your $10,000 investment would grow to approximately $16,470 with monthly compounding at a 5% annual interest rate.
