Frequently Asked Questions
What is compound interest?
Compound interest is interest calculated on both the principal and the accumulated interest from prior periods. Unlike simple interest, it causes savings to grow exponentially over time.
How does compounding frequency affect savings?
More frequent compounding (e.g., daily vs. annually) results in slightly higher returns because interest is added to the balance more often. The effect is most noticeable at higher rates over longer periods.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All calculations run locally in your browser. Your financial information is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
What is the Rule of 72?
The Rule of 72 is a mental math shortcut: divide 72 by your annual interest rate to estimate how many years it takes to double your money. At 6% annual interest, your savings double in roughly 12 years.
