Frequently Asked Questions
Compound interest is interest earned on both the principal amount and the accumulated interest from previous periods.
More frequent compounding (monthly vs annually) results in higher returns due to interest being reinvested more often.
Formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) where A = final amount, P = principal, r = rate, n = compounding frequency, t = time.
Additional contributions are added to your investment at the specified frequency and also earn compound interest.
