Compound Interest Calculator

What is Compound Interest?

Compound interest is the interest that accrues on the initial amount plus the accumulated interest over time. Known as 'interest on interest', it is the concept behind the exponential growth of investments and also the increase in long-term debts. Understanding its operation is crucial for any type of financial planning, whether for saving, investing, or financing something. It is what Albert Einstein reportedly called the 'eighth wonder of the world', due to its powerful multiplying effect.
