Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on interest. It is the result of reinvesting interest, rather than paying it out, so that interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously-accumulated interest.
Albert Einstein reportedly called compound interest the "eighth wonder of the world." Its power lies in its ability to accelerate the growth of your money over time.
The formula for annual compound interest, including monthly contributions, is complex, but the basic concept is:
$$ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} $$
Where:
Imagine you invest $5,000 today and contribute $200 every month for 20 years at an average return of 8%.
The interest earned is more than your total contributions! This illustrates the exponential power of time and consistency.
