The Logic Behind It
The calculator uses the compound interest formula:
A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)
Where:
- A = Future Value
- P = Principal Amount
- r = Annual Interest Rate (as a decimal)
- n = Number of Compounding Periods per Year
- t = Time in Years
Total Interest = A - P. The chart shows the growth of the investment year by year.
