Formula explanation

How this calculator works

Core formula

A = P * (1 + r / n)^(n * t)

Principal grows by the periodic interest rate every compounding interval, so growth accelerates as interest starts earning interest.

  • Higher compounding frequency produces slightly more growth at the same rate.
  • Total interest equals future value minus starting principal.
