How Is Compound Interest Calculated?
The compound interest formula is derived from the principle that each period's interest becomes part of the principal for the next period's calculation:
Year 1: A₁ = P(1 + r/n)ⁿ
Year 2: A₂ = P(1 + r/n)²ⁿ
Year t: Aₜ = P(1 + r/n)ⁿᵗ
- A = Final amount
- P = Principal (initial investment)
- r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = Number of times interest compounds per year
- t = Number of years
