Compound Interest Calculator

Calculate compound interest on savings and investments with flexible compounding periods.

About this tool

The Compound Interest Calculator estimates how your savings or investments can grow over time when interest is compounded. Unlike simple interest, compound interest calculates returns on both the original principal and the accumulated interest, which can significantly increase long-term growth. Enter your principal amount, interest rate, compounding frequency (such as yearly, monthly, or daily), and time period to instantly view projected growth. This tool is useful for investment planning, savings goals, retirement projections, and comparing different compounding options in a clear, easy-to-understand way. If you invest regularly instead of making a single deposit, the SIP Calculator can estimate returns on monthly contributions. For simpler scenarios where interest does not compound, the Simple Interest Calculator may be sufficient. You can also evaluate overall profitability using the Investment Return Calculator.

  2. Enter the interest rate.
  3. Choose the compounding frequency (annual, monthly or daily).
  4. Enter the number of years.
  5. Click Calculate to view your investment growth.
