What is Compound Interest?
A Compound Interest Calculator helps determine how an investment or savings amount grows over time when interest is earned not only on the original principal but also on the accumulated interest.
This concept is known as "interest on interest", and it is one of the most powerful mechanisms for long-term wealth growth.
How Compound Interest Works
When interest is compounded, the interest earned in each period is added to the principal, and the next period's interest is calculated on the new increased amount.
For example, if you invest ₹1,00,000 at 10% annually, the interest earned in the first year becomes part of the principal in the second year. This process continues, allowing growth at an accelerating rate.
