See the power of compound interest. Calculate how your initial investment grows with regular contributions over time.
Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. Unlike simple interest, compound interest grows exponentially over time — often called the "eighth wonder of the world."
The formula is: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) where P is principal, r is annual rate, n is compounding frequency, and t is time in years.
Divide 72 by your interest rate to estimate how many years it takes to double your money. At 7% annual return, your investment doubles every ~10.3 years. At 10%, it doubles every ~7.2 years.
