HOW IT WORKS

Use the compound interest calculator in seconds

This calculator compounds monthly using the annual interest rate divided by 12. Choose deposits at the beginning or end of each month; beginning deposits earn one additional month of growth. Fractional-year terms round to the nearest whole month. Compare saving amounts, time horizons and rates, including negative-rate scenarios. Fees, taxes and inflation are excluded. Results are projections, not guaranteed returns.
