How to Use the Calculator
Using the calculator is simple. First, enter your **Initial Investment** (P), which is the money you start with. Next, input your **Monthly Contribution**, which represents the recurring amount you plan to save. The **Annual Interest Rate** (r) should be entered as a percentage (e.g., 5.0 for 5%). Select your **Compounding Frequency** (n), choosing from daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Finally, input the **Investment Period** (t) in years. Click 'Calculate' to see your projected final balance, total interest earned, and a detailed year-by-year breakdown.
Calculation Formula and Logic
The core of the calculation involves two parts: compounding the initial principal and compounding the series of monthly contributions. The standard compound interest formula is:
$$A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$$Where $A$ is the final amount, $P$ is the principal, $r$ is the annual rate (as a decimal), $n$ is the compounding frequency, and $t$ is the time in years. The monthly contributions are calculated using a variation of the future value of an annuity formula, compounded at the same frequency. The calculator carefully integrates both of these components month-by-month to provide an accurate cumulative total.
