💰 The Power of Compounding
Compound interest is the interest earned on both the initial principal and the interest accumulated from previous periods. It's often called "interest on interest" and is the key driver of long-term wealth accumulation.
📈 Formula and Terms
- Compounding Frequency
- The number of times per year the interest is calculated and added to the principal. The more frequent the compounding (e.g., monthly vs. annually), the greater the final amount.
- Future Value (FV) Formula
- Calculated using the formula: FV = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT * [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)] where P is the principal, r is the annual rate, n is the compounding frequency, t is the time in years, and PMT is the periodic payment.
