FAQ

What is compound interest?
Compound interest means you earn returns not only on your original principal but also on previously earned interest. Formula: A = P · (1 + r/n)^(n·t). Over long periods this produces exponential growth.
How much do regular contributions matter?
A lot. Adding a fixed amount every month and reinvesting earnings dramatically increases the final value, especially over 20–30 years, because each contribution compounds for the remaining term.
What is the Rule of 72?
A quick estimate for doubling time: years ≈ 72 / annual return %. At 8% your money doubles in about 9 years; at 12%, in about 6 years.
What return rate should I assume?
Historically the S&P 500 has returned about 10% per year before inflation (around 7% after). Use a conservative figure for planning and remember that past performance does not guarantee future results.
