Cara Menghitung Compound Interest
learn.whatIsHeading
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.
Rumus
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 (%)
Panduan Langkah demi Langkah
- 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

Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
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.
