Compound Interest Calculator

Compound interest is interest earned on both your original deposit and the interest that has already accumulated. Over time, this creates exponential growth — your money earns money.

What you can calculate:

  • Final balance after a set period
  • Total interest earned
  • How different compounding frequencies (daily, monthly, annually) affect returns
  • The impact of regular contributions

This tool is useful for evaluating savings accounts, comparing investment options, or understanding the true cost of loans. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission provides additional resources on how compounding works.

Common tip percentages in the U.S.:

  • 15% — Standard service
  • 18–20% — Good to excellent service

The calculator also handles bill splitting, showing each person's share including tip.

Understanding percentages helps you compare options, spot good deals, and make informed financial choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does compound interest differ from simple interest?

Simple interest is calculated only on the original principal. Compound interest is calculated on the principal plus accumulated interest, so your money grows faster over time.

What compounding frequency gives the best returns?

More frequent compounding (daily vs. annually) results in slightly higher returns. The difference becomes more significant with larger amounts and longer time periods.

How much should I tip?

In the United States, 15–20% is standard for restaurant service. 15% for adequate service, 18–20% for good to excellent service. Tipping customs vary by country.
