Как да изчислим Compound Interest
Какво е Compound Interest?
Compound interest earns returns on both principal and previously earned interest. The frequency of compounding (annual, monthly, daily) affects the effective annual rate (EAR), with more frequent compounding yielding slightly higher returns.
Формула
A = P(1+r/n)^(nt) + PMT×[(1+r/n)^(nt)−1]/(r/n) where PMT=regular payment
- A
- Final Amount ($)
- P
- Principal ($)
- r
- Annual Rate (%)
Ръководство стъпка по стъпка
- 1A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)
- 2P = principal, r = annual rate, n = compounding periods/year, t = years
- 3With monthly contributions (PMT): add PMT × ((1+r/n)^(n×t) − 1) ÷ (r/n)
- 4EAR = (1 + r/n)^n − 1
Worked Examples
Вход
$10,000 at 7% for 20 years, monthly compounding
Резултат
$40,642 — vs $38,697 with annual compounding
Вход
Same with $200/month added
Резултат
$127,000 — contributions quadruple the outcome
Frequently Asked Questions
How is compound interest different from simple interest?
Simple interest: I = PRT (linear growth). Compound interest: A = P(1+r)^t (exponential growth). Compound interest accelerates as interest earns interest.
How often should interest compound?
More frequent compounding = higher returns. Annual vs daily compounding can differ by 0.5–1% annually. Continuous compounding (e) is the theoretical maximum.
What is the "Rule of 72"?
Years to double ≈ 72 / interest rate. At 8%, money doubles in ≈9 years. Quick mental estimation for long-term growth.
