How It Works

This calculator shows how your money compounds over time so you can see both your total investment and how much interest you’ll earn.

To get started, enter the following:

• Investment Amount: The amount of money you plan to invest as either a one-time contribution or as a repeating deposit.
• Investment Frequency: How often you’ll make that investment—just once, monthly, twice a year, or annually.
• Number of Years: The total amount of time you plan to keep your money invested, allowing it to grow and earn interest.

You will then see an estimate of how much interest you will earn over time with a fixed rate and interest compounding monthly. Change the compound frequency, interest rate, and whether or not the interest range is fixed to adjust your estimated earnings and predict the success of the investment.
