Compound Interest Calculator - Getting Interest On Interest

Use the compound interest calculator to determine how much money you would accumulate by investing a given amount of money at a fixed annual rate of return for a specified period in years.

For example, if you invested $6,000, after 10 years at a 6 percent annual rate of return, you would accumulate $10,745.09.

The calculator assumes that investments are made at the end of the investing period so an investment made for one year displays no gain.

Form Input
