About this calculator
The Compound Interest Calculator shows how your money grows over time when interest is reinvested. Unlike simple interest, compound interest earns returns on your returns — the longer you invest, the faster your balance grows. Enter your principal, rate, compounding frequency, and time to see your investment's future value.
