Compound interest calculates interest on both the initial principal and the previously accumulated interest. Unlike simple interest (which only grows on the principal), compound interest grows exponentially — your interest earns interest. Einstein reportedly called it "the eighth wonder of the world."
Panduan Langkah demi Langkah
- 1Start with your principal amount P
- 2Determine the annual rate r and how often it compounds (n times per year)
- 3Apply the formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
- 4The difference A − P is the total interest earned
