Frequently Asked Questions

What is compound interest?
Compound interest is the interest you earn on both your initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. It's often called "interest on interest" and is what makes investments grow exponentially over time.
How does compounding frequency affect my returns?
The more frequently your interest is compounded, the faster your investment will grow. For example, daily compounding will yield a slightly higher return than monthly or yearly compounding at the same annual interest rate because interest starts earning its own interest sooner.
Is this calculator accurate for all types of investments?
This calculator is highly accurate for investments with a fixed interest rate, such as fixed deposits or certain bonds. For investments with variable returns like stocks or mutual funds, it can be used to estimate potential growth based on an expected average annual return.
