What is a Compound Interest Calculator?
A Compound Interest Calculator computes investment growth where interest is earned on both the original principal and all previously accumulated interest. Unlike simple interest, compounding causes exponential growth — and its effect becomes dramatically visible over long time horizons.
How to Use It
- 1Enter the principal amount (initial investment)
- 2Set the annual interest rate
- 3Choose the compounding frequency: daily, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually
- 4Enter the investment duration in years
- 5View total maturity amount, interest earned, and a year-by-year growth chart
Example
₹1,00,000 invested at 10% for 20 years: with annual compounding → ₹6,72,750 (interest: ₹5,72,750). With monthly compounding → ₹7,32,817 — that's ₹60,000 more from compounding frequency alone.
Why Use It
- Visualize the exponential growth of long-term investments
- Compare compounding frequencies to maximize returns on FDs and bonds
- Understand why time in the market matters more than timing the market
- Apply the Rule of 72 to estimate when any investment will double
