How Compound Interest Works
Compound interest earns returns on both your original money and previously earned interest, accelerating growth over time.
Worked Example
Starting with $5,000 and adding $500/month at 4% annual rate, you'd reach a $50,000 goal in approximately 77 months (6 years, 5 months). Total contributions: $43,500. Interest earned: approximately $6,770 — about 13.5% of your final balance came from returns.
