Compound Interest

Compound Interest

Interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods of a deposit or loan. Compound interest can be thought of as “interest on interest,” and will make a deposit or loan grow at a faster rate than simple interest, which is interest calculated only on the principal amount.



 = [P (1 + i)n] – P

= P [(1 + i)n – 1]


Compound Interest = Total amount of Principal and Interest in future (or Future Value) less Principal amount at present (or Present Value)
