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.

Frequently asked questions

What is compound interest?

Interest earned on both the principal and previously accrued interest.

How do I calculate compound interest?

Formula: FV = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t). The calculator above does it automatically.

How does it differ from simple interest?

Simple interest accrues only on the principal; compound also on the interest.

How does compounding frequency affect the result?

More frequent compounding (monthly) yields a higher final value than yearly at the same rate.

Is the Belka tax included?

Not in this version. A 19% Belka tax applies to gains — planned.

Currently only the initial principal is used. Recurring deposits are planned.
