Compound Interest Formula
Variables Explained:
| A | Final accrued maturity amount (Principal + Compound Interest) |
| P | Initial principal deposit |
| r | Annual interest rate in decimal form (Rate % ÷ 100) |
| n | Number of times interest is compounded per year (Annual = 1, Half-Yearly = 2, Quarterly = 4, Monthly = 12) |
| t | Total duration in years |
Quarterly vs Annual Compounding Example
Compounding ₹1 Lakh at 8% quarterly for 5 years earns ₹48,595 in interest, which is ₹1,662 higher than annual compounding due to interest being earned on previous quarterly payouts.
Example Input Parameters:
- Principal (P) ₹1,00,000
- Interest Rate (r) 8.0% p.a.
- Tenure (t) 5 Years (Quarterly compounding, n = 4)
Calculated Output Summary:
- Principal Invested ₹1,00,000
- Compound Interest Earned ₹48,595
- Total Future Value ₹1,48,595
