About Compound Interest Calculator
Compound interest is interest earned on both the original amount and the interest already added. This calculator compounds monthly: future value = P × (1 + i)^n + M × ((1 + i)^n − 1) ÷ i, where P is the starting amount, M the monthly deposit made at the end of each month, i the annual rate ÷ 12, and n the number of months. It assumes a constant return and ignores taxes, fees, and inflation. Illustration only, not investment advice.
Also known as: SIP Calculator.

Questions about Compound Interest Calculator
What is the difference between simple and compound interest?
Simple interest is paid only on the original amount, so growth is a straight line. Compound interest is also paid on earlier interest, so the balance grows faster each year the money stays invested.
What is a SIP?
A systematic investment plan is a fixed amount invested at regular intervals, usually monthly. Set the starting amount to 0 and enter your instalment as the monthly deposit to model one.
