How the Compound Interest Calculator Works

Future Value = principal * pow(1 + rate / 100 / n, n * years)
Interest Earned = principal * pow(1 + rate / 100 / n, n * years) - principal

The formula used in this calculator calculates the future value of an investment by taking the principal and applying the interest rate over the specified time period, compounded at regular intervals. For example, if you invest $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 5% compounded annually for 10 years, the future value would be $1,628.89, and the interest earned would be $628.89.
