Frequently Asked Questions
What is compound interest?▼
Compound interest is interest earned on both the initial principal and previously accumulated interest. Unlike simple interest, it grows exponentially over time.
How does compounding frequency affect growth?▼
More frequent compounding (daily vs annually) results in slightly more growth because interest is calculated and added to the principal more often, creating more opportunities for interest-on-interest.
What is the Rule of 72?▼
The Rule of 72 estimates how long it takes to double your money: divide 72 by your annual interest rate. At 8% interest, it takes approximately 72/8 = 9 years to double.
