Compound interest formula
Compound interest is commonly calculated with A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P is principal, r is the annual rate, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is time in years.
When a result depends on rates, units, dimensions, or formatting rules, make sure the inputs match the labels shown in the calculator before using the output.
Interest Calculator example
For example, $10,000 at 5% annual interest compounded monthly for 10 years grows faster than simple interest because each month adds interest to a slightly larger balance.
Small changes in the input can sometimes create a large change in the answer, so examples are a good way to understand the calculation before using your own values.
