The Power of Compounding
Compounding is the process where the value of an investment increases because the earnings on an investment, both capital gains and interest, earn interest as time passes.
The Magic of Compound Interest
Compound interest is often called the "eighth wonder of the world" because of its ability to multiply wealth over time.
Why Frequency Matters
The compounding frequency (n) has a significant impact on your final balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is compound interest?
Compound interest is the interest on a loan or deposit calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.
How does compounding frequency affect my return?
The more frequently interest is compounded (e.g., daily vs. annually), the more money you will earn over time, as interest is added to the principal sooner.
