Questions people ask

What is compound interest?

Interest earned on your interest. Each period, interest is added to the balance, so the next period’s interest is a little bigger.

What is the formula?

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n × t), where P is the starting amount, r the yearly rate, n how many times a year interest is added, and t the years. Monthly additions are added at the end of each month.

Does more frequent compounding help?

A little. Daily compounding gives slightly more than yearly at the same rate — the rate itself and the time matter much more.
