Key Concepts

Time Period

The time period (or number of compounding periods) is the duration for which the money is invested or borrowed. It directly impacts the amount of compound interest accrued over time.

Interest Rate

The interest rate is the proportion of the principal that is paid as interest over a specific period, usually expressed as a percentage. It determines the growth rate of the investment or loan.

Compound Interest

Compound interest is the process of earning interest on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. It leads to exponential growth and is typically calculated using the formula A = P(1 + r)^n, where A is the future amount, P is the principal, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods.

Principal

The principal is the initial sum of money that is deposited or invested before any interest is applied. It serves as the basis for calculating interest over time.
