Understanding Compound Interest
Compound interest is interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods. In simpler terms, it\'s "interest on interest." This means that over time, your money can grow at a faster rate because you\'re earning interest not just on your original deposit, but also on the interest you've already earned.
Formula Explained
- A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
- r = the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for
