03Common questions
• What is compound interest? Compound interest means you earn interest on both your principal and the interest already earned. Over time this creates exponential growth — 'interest on interest'. • What does compounding frequency mean? More frequent compounding means interest is calculated and added to your balance more often. Daily compounding yields slightly more than annual compounding at the same rate. • Can I include regular contributions? Yes — enter a monthly contribution amount. The calculator adds this to each period's calculation and shows total principal vs total interest earned.
