Understanding Compound Interest
What is Compound Interest?
Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum, resulting in interest earning interest. It's often called the "eighth wonder of the world" for its powerful wealth-building potential.
The Formula
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is principal, r is annual interest rate, n is compounding frequency, and t is time in years.
Time is Your Ally
The longer your money compounds, the more dramatic the growth becomes. Starting early and staying consistent are the keys to harnessing compound interest's full potential.
