How to Use the Compound Interest Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the future value of an investment based on the principal amount, the annual interest rate, the number of years the money is invested, and the number of times interest is compounded per year.
- Enter the principal amount (the initial amount of money to be invested).
- Input the annual interest rate as a percentage.
- Provide the duration of the investment in years.
- Specify how many times the interest is compounded per year.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated future value of the investment.
Calculation Method
The result is calculated using the compound interest formula: A = P(1 + r/n)nt where:
- P: Principal amount
- r: Annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- t: Number of years
- n: Number of times interest is compounded per year
The result is displayed as the future value A.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator assumes a constant annual interest rate and does not account for changes in interest rates over time. It also assumes that the interest is compounded at regular intervals, as specified by the user. Real-life factors such as taxes, fees, or additional contributions are not considered in this calculation.
