How Compound Interest Works
Compound interest means you earn interest not only on your initial amount (principal) but also on any interest that has already been added. This process—earning 'interest on interest'—makes your money grow faster over time than with simple interest.
Types and Frequency of Compounding
Interest can be compounded at different intervals—such as yearly, monthly, or even continuously. The more often the interest is added to your balance, the quicker your savings (or debt) will grow. Continuous compounding grows the fastest, while simple interest does not compound at all.
Benefits of Time and Starting Early
The earlier you start saving or investing with compound interest, the more your money can grow. Time is important because compounding multiplies your savings over longer periods, helping small amounts turn into much larger sums.
