This calculator calculates the future value of an investment based on initial amount, interest rate, and time period.
Learn how to use the Accumulation Unit Calculator and understand the compound interest formula.
Compound interest is the interest on a loan or deposit calculated based on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. The formula used in this calculator is:
FV = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
- FV is the future value of the investment
- P is the principal amount
- r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t is the number of years the money is invested for
If you invest ₹10,000 at an annual interest rate of 6% for 5 years, compounded monthly, the future value would be:
FV = 10,000 × (1 + 0.06/12)^(12×5) ≈ ₹13,488.48
The interest earned would be ₹3,488.48.
