Frequently Asked Questions
What is compound interest?
Compound interest is interest earned on both your initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. It's often called "interest on interest" and can significantly boost your investment growth over time.
How does compound interest differ from simple interest?
Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus any interest that has been earned. This makes compound interest much more powerful for long-term growth.
What is a good interest rate for investments?
Historically, stock market investments average around 7-10% annually. Savings accounts typically offer 0.5-2%, while bonds may provide 2-5%. Higher rates usually come with higher risk.
