How compound interest is calculated

The calculator uses Maturity = Principal × (1 + Rate ÷ n)n × Time, where n is the number of compounding periods per year. Interest is maturity minus the starting principal.

Principal

A single starting amount; no later contributions or withdrawals are modelled.

Frequency

Choose 1, 2, 4, 12, or 365 compounding periods per year.

Time

Years, months, and days are combined into a duration measured in years.

Worked compound-interest example

For ₹1,00,000 at 10% per year for 5 years with yearly compounding, the calculator estimates:

Principal
₹1,00,000
Interest
₹61,051
Total maturity
₹1,61,051

Frequently asked questions

Why does compounding frequency change the result?

More frequent compounding adds earned interest to the balance sooner. At the same nominal annual rate, that can produce a slightly higher maturity.

Does this calculator support regular contributions?

No. It compounds one starting principal. Use the SIP or recurring-deposit calculator for regular contributions.

Are tax and inflation included?

No. Results are nominal and before tax, fees, charges, and inflation.
