Frequently Asked Questions: Compound Interest Calculator

Answers to common questions regarding inputs, calculations, and mathematical methodology.

What is the Rule of 72?

Divide 72 by your annual interest rate to approximate how many years it will take to double your investment (e.g. at 8%, 72 / 8 = 9 years).

Why does more frequent compounding yield more money?

More frequent compounding credits interest earlier, meaning subsequent interest calculations operate on a larger base.
