Compound Interest

Compound interest, interest is earned on the original amount of deposit AND on the interest that has already been earned on the deposit.

Annual Compound Interest Calculation

(Original Deposit + Interest Earned) x Interest Rate x Length of Time

Year One: $100.00 x 2% x 1 = $2

$100.00 + $2.00 = $102.00

Year Two: $102.00 x 2% x 1 = $2.04

$102.00 + 2.04 = $104.04

Computing Interest Compounded Quarterly

Compound interest means earning interest on your original amount of deposit AND on the interest that has already been earned on your deposit.

Computing Interest Compounded Quarterly

To compute interest compounded quarterly, divide the annual interest rate by 4 to get the quarterly rate:

3% or .03 / 4 = .0075

Compounded Interest

Interest can be compounded every six months: divide interest rate by 2

Interest can be compounded monthly: divide the interest rate by 12

The Rule of 72

The rule of 72 is a shortcut that can be used to find out how many years it will take a deposit to double in value using compounding interest.

72 / Annual Rate of Return = Number of Years to Double

Rule of 72

If you invest $1,000.00, how many years will it take for it to grow to $2,000.00

At 3%?

24 years

At 6%?

12 years
