FAQ
What is compound interest?
Compound interest is interest earned on both the original principal and on the interest already accumulated. Commonly described as "interest on interest".
How does the compounding frequency change the result?
The more frequently interest compounds, the more total interest you earn for the same rate. Daily compounding produces slightly more than monthly, which produces more than yearly.

What is the difference between this and simple interest?
Simple interest is calculated only on the principal, so it grows linearly. Compound interest also earns on accumulated interest, so it grows faster over time. Try the Simple Interest Calculator to compare.
