The Rule of Compounding Interest

Understand how interest earned earns additional interest over time.

What is Compound Interest?

Unlike simple interest, which is calculated solely on the principal, compound interest is calculated on the principal plus all accumulated interest from previous periods. Einstein famously called it the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

Formula:
A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n × t)
• A = Accrued maturity value
• P = Principal initial deposit
• r = Annual rate of interest (in decimal form)
• n = Compounding frequency per year
• t = Total tenure in years

Time Horizon matters most

Because compounding interest is exponential, the real gains happen in the latter stages of the investment tenure. Extending your tenure by just a few years can double your overall maturity yield. Make sure to check the year-wise schedule table above to see how your interest earned accelerates each year.

Frequently Asked Questions

The more frequent the compounding, the higher your final yield. Daily compounding will generate slightly higher returns than monthly, quarterly, or yearly compounding, assuming the nominal rate remains equal.

The Rule of 72 is a quick shortcut to estimate how long it takes to double your money. Divide 72 by the annual interest rate. For example, at an 8% interest rate, your principal will double in approximately 9 years (72 / 8).
