The Compound Interest Calculator shows exactly how money grows when interest compounds over time — visually, year by year. Enter a starting principal, annual interest rate, and time period, and see the final balance, total contributions, and total interest earned broken out clearly. An optional monthly contribution field lets you model regular savings deposits on top of the initial amount.
Choose from five compounding frequencies — annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily — to understand how frequency affects final returns. The year-by-year bar chart makes the exponential growth curve visible and intuitive, helping you see why starting early matters more than the exact rate.
