Compound Interest Formula

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × (((1 + r/n)^(nt) – 1) / (r/n))

Where:
• A = Future value of investment
• P = Principal investment amount (initial deposit)
• r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
• n = Number of times interest compounds per year
• t = Number of years the money is invested
• PMT = Monthly contribution amount

APY = (1 + r/n)^n – 1
Total Contributions = P + (PMT × n × t)
Interest Earned = A – Total Contributions

Example Calculation

Example: $10,000 at 5% APY for 10 years

Initial Deposit: $10,000
Monthly Contribution: $100
Annual Rate: 5% (0.05)
Compounding: Monthly (n=12)
Time: 10 years

Calculation:
P(1 + r/n)^(nt) = $10,000 × (1 + 0.05/12)^(12×10) = $16,470
PMT × (((1 + r/n)^(nt) – 1) / (r/n)) = $100 × (((1 + 0.05/12)^(120) – 1) / (0.05/12)) = $15,528
Total Future Value = $16,470 + $15,528 = $31,998

Total Contributions: $10,000 + ($100 × 120) = $22,000
Interest Earned: $31,998 – $22,000 = $9,998
