Power of Compounding Interest
- Compounding interest amplifies wealth; initial investment earns interest on both the original amount and the interest accrued.
- Example:
- Invest 100,earn100, earn 100,earn10 interest in the first year, total becomes $110.
- In the second year, 110earns110 earns 110earns11, total is $121.
- In the third year, 121earns121 earns 121earns12, total is $133.
- The compounding effect continues as long as the investment grows.
- Compounding formulas:
- Future Value: ( P(1 + i)^n )
- Compound Value: ( P[(1 + i)^n - 1] )
