Understanding Compound Interest
The Power of Compounding
Compound interest earns interest on your interest. The more frequently it compounds, the faster your money grows — this is why daily compounds outperform annual ones.
Regular Contributions
Consistent monthly deposits can dwarf your initial investment over long horizons. Even $100/month at 7% for 30 years grows to over $100,000.
Rule of 72 & 114
Divide 72 by your rate to find doubling time (72÷7%≈10 yrs). Use 114 for tripling time. These quick estimates guide long-term planning.
APY vs APR
APY (Annual Percentage Yield) accounts for compounding and is always ≥ APR. The difference grows with compounding frequency.
Inflation Impact
At 3% inflation, purchasing power halves every 24 years. Toggle inflation to see real vs nominal returns and guard against this silent erosion.
Contribution Timing
Contributing at the beginning of each period earns slightly more than end-of-period (annuity due vs ordinary annuity).
