Advantages Of Compound Interest

1. Your money grows faster by earning interest on both the initial amount and the accumulated interest.
2. Over time, your investment can increase significantly due to the compounding effect.
3. The longer you invest, the greater the benefits from compound interest.
4. Compound interest typically offers higher returns than simple interest.
5. It encourages saving and investing, as your money grows more over time.

Formula To Calculate Compound Interest

The formula to calculate compound interest is:

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

Where

1. A is the final amount (Principal + Interest)
2. P is the principal (initial amount)
3. r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal)
4. n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
5. t is the time money is invested or borrowed for, in years

To find the compound interest, subtract the principal from the final amount:

Compound Interest = A - P

This formula helps you calculate how much your investment will grow over time, considering the effect of compounding.
