Quick FAQ

Is this financial advice?
No. It is a math tool for simple and compound interest scenarios, not a recommendation for borrowing or investing.

Why does compound interest grow faster?
Compound interest adds earned interest back to the balance, so future interest is calculated on a larger amount.

What compounding frequency should I choose?
Use the frequency stated in the account, loan, or product terms. Monthly, quarterly, and annual compounding can produce different results.

Does it include taxes or fees?
No. Add taxes, account fees, early withdrawal penalties, or loan charges separately when comparing real products.
