What is Investment Calculator?
An investment calculator helps you understand how your money can grow over time through the power of compound interest. By investing regularly and allowing your returns to compound, you can build significant wealth for your future goals.
How Compound Interest Works
Compound interest means earning returns not only on your original investment but also on the returns you've already earned. This creates exponential growth over time, making it one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available.
Investment Formula
FV = PV(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT × [((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)]
FV = Future Value
PV = Present Value (initial investment)
PMT = Regular payment amount
r = Annual interest rate
n = Number of times interest compounds per year
t = Number of years
