Frequently asked questions
What formula is used?
Without contributions the future value is P × (1 + r/n)^(n × t). Monthly contributions are added at the end of each month and earn interest at the same effective rate.
Does compounding frequency matter?
Yes. The more often interest compounds, the more you earn, although the difference between monthly and daily compounding is small.
