Compound Interest Calculator 12 Years
The formula for compound interest is:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
- A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
- r = the annual interest rate (in decimal)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t
- t = the time the money is invested for, in years
Let’s say you have an initial investment (P) of $1000, an annual interest rate (r) of 5%, compounded annually (n = 1), and you want to calculate the future value after 12 years (t = 12):
A = 1000 * (1 + 0.05/1)^(1*12) A = 1000 * (1 + 0.05)^12 A = 1000 * (1.05)^12 A ≈ 1790.85
So, the future value of your investment after 12 years would be approximately $1790.85.
