FAQ

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods — making your money grow exponentially over time.

How often should I compound?

More frequent compounding (daily > monthly > annually) yields slightly more interest. The difference is meaningful over long periods.

The Power of Compounding

  • $10,000 at 7% annual for 30 years = ~$76,123 with annual compounding.
  • Starting early matters most — time is the biggest factor in compound growth.
  • Einstein reportedly called compound interest the 'eighth wonder of the world.'
