Frequently Asked Questions

Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and accumulated interest from previous periods. It makes your money grow exponentially over time.

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)], where P is principal, r is annual rate, n is compounding frequency, t is years, and PMT is periodic contribution.
