What is the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest is calculated only on principal. Compound interest is calculated on principal plus accumulated interest.

What compound interest formula does this calculator use?

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t), where A is the final amount, P is principal, r is the annual interest rate (decimal), n is compounding frequency per year, and t is time in years.

What compounding frequencies are supported?

Daily (365×/year), weekly, monthly (12×/year), quarterly (4×/year), semi-annually (2×/year), and annually. More frequent compounding yields a slightly higher return for the same stated rate.
