Introduction to Compound Interest

Compound interest is the growth of an investment where interest earns interest over time. It accelerates wealth growth compared to simple interest.

The Basic Formula

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). A is the amount, P principal, r annual rate, n number of compounding periods per year, t time in years.

Setting Up a Problem

Example setup: invest $1,000 (P) at 5% annual interest, compounded quarterly for 3 years (n=4, t=3).

A Quick Calculation

Plug in values: A = 1000(1.0125)^12 ≈ 1,161.62. The investment grows to about $1,161.62.

Why More Frequent Compounding Helps

Interest compounds more often, so the amount grows faster over time even if the rate stays the same.

Real-Life Scenarios

Applications include savings accounts, education funds, loans with compound interest, and annual investments that compound over time.

The Rule of 72

Approximate doubling time: 72 divided by the interest rate (percent). At 6%, about 12 years to double.

Monthly vs Annual Compounding

Monthly compounding at the same nominal rate yields more growth than annual compounding due to more frequent interest additions.

Important Considerations

Assume constant rate, predictable contributions, and ignore taxes and fees. Real-life outcomes depend on many factors beyond the formula.

Practice Challenge

Compare outcomes for different compounding frequencies and rates to decide the best savings plan for a goal.
