Frequently asked questions about compound interest
Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. Unlike simple interest, your earnings are reinvested, creating a snowball effect that accelerates growth over time.
The more frequently interest is compounded, the higher the effective return. Monthly compounding yields more than annual compounding for the same nominal rate, because interest is reinvested more often. The difference is most noticeable at higher interest rates and longer time horizons.
The Rule of 72 is a quick way to estimate how long it takes to double your money. Divide 72 by the annual interest rate. For example, at 6% interest, your money doubles in approximately 12 years (72 / 6 = 12).
