How it works

Your starting capital and any monthly contributions are compounded every month using an effective monthly rate derived from your chosen annual rate and compounding frequency. This gives an accurate result whether you compound annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily — even when you also add money every month.

Tip

Small, regular contributions can matter more than the starting amount over long periods. Try increasing the duration or the monthly contribution to see how much compounding accelerates growth.

What currency does this use?

None — the calculator works in whatever currency you like. Just be consistent: the result is shown in the same units as your inputs.
