The Compound Interest Formula

-

When asked to name the greatest invention in human history, Albert Einstein simply replied “compound interest.”

Albert Einstein is also credited with saying: “Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.”

Compound interest or compounded returns is when your money makes money on previous returns or earns interest on interest. The compound interest formula is calculated by multiplying the principal amount by one plus the annual interest rate by the power of the number of periods the capital will be compounding at to get a total figure for both the principal and what accrues through compound interest. Subtract the principal if you just want the compound interest results.
