Calculate Compound Interest
Compound interest adds earned interest back to the balance so later periods can earn interest on previous interest.
Formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt); Interest = A β P
Keep the interest rate, payment frequency and time period consistent. Fees, compounding rules, taxes and lender or issuer conventions can change a real-world result, so use the calculator as a calculation aid rather than a contract quote.
Recalculate the result from the displayed formula and confirm that rate, term, compounding and monetary amounts use the same time basis.
