What is compound interest?

Compound interest means you earn interest not only on your original investment, but also on the interest that has already been added to your balance. Over longer periods, this can significantly increase the growth of savings and investments.

Why regular contributions matter

Adding money consistently can have a major impact on long-term growth. Even relatively small monthly contributions can become significant when combined with compound interest over many years.

Compound interest can accelerate long-term growth because returns are earned on both the original balance and previously accumulated interest. This calculator also lets you include regular monthly contributions.

How compound interest works

With compound interest, interest added to an account becomes part of the balance that may earn additional interest in future periods.

Time is an important factor because compounding has more opportunities to build on previous growth over longer periods.

Example compound interest calculation

Suppose you begin with $10,000, add $200 each month, and earn an average annual rate of 7% for 10 years. Your ending balance can be substantially higher than the total amount you personally contributed.

The difference between the ending balance and your contributions represents estimated growth from compounding.

Why regular contributions matter

Regular contributions add new capital that can also participate in future growth. Even modest recurring deposits can make a meaningful difference over long periods.

Actual investment returns are not guaranteed and can vary significantly over time.
