How Compound Interest Works

Compound interest is the interest earned on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.

1

Initial Investment

Start with your principal amount. This is the foundation of your investment that will grow over time.

2

Interest Compounding

Interest is calculated on your principal plus any previously earned interest, creating exponential growth.

3

Accelerated Growth

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on both the principal and accumulated interest. Compound interest results in exponential growth over time, making it much more powerful for long-term investments.

How does compounding frequency affect returns?

More frequent compounding generally leads to higher returns. Daily compounding will yield slightly more than monthly, which yields more than annually. However, the difference becomes less significant with very high frequencies.

What are additional contributions?

Additional contributions are regular deposits you make to your investment account. These contributions also earn compound interest, significantly accelerating your wealth building process over time.
