What is compound interest?
Compound interest is when you earn interest on both your original principal AND the interest that has already been added. This creates exponential growth over time.
How does frequency affect compound interest?
More frequent compounding (monthly vs annually) results in slightly higher returns. Monthly compounding earns interest on interest 12 times per year instead of once.
What's a realistic interest rate?
Savings accounts typically offer 0.5-2%, while stock market investments average 7-10% annually over the long term. Use conservative estimates for planning.
Why should I make monthly contributions?
Regular contributions significantly boost your final amount through dollar-cost averaging and additional compound growth on each contribution.
