How compound interest works

Interest accrues on the principal and on previously accrued interest. Formula: FV = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t), where P is principal, r the annual rate, n compoundings per year, t years.

Example: PLN 10,000, 5%, 10 years

For PLN 10,000 at 5% per year with monthly compounding, after 10 years the capital grows to about PLN 16,470 — interest gained is about PLN 6,470.
