What it means

Your interest earns interest

Compound interest means you earn returns not only on your original money, but also on the interest added earlier. Over time, this can make a big difference.

A higher compounding frequency, such as monthly instead of yearly, can slightly increase the final amount because interest is added more often.

When to use

Use it for long-term planning

  • Estimate how much a fixed deposit, recurring investment, or long-term portfolio may grow.
  • Compare the impact of different annual returns and saving durations.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate, not as a guarantee of future market performance.
