What is the compound interest formula?

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) where A is final amount, P is principal, r is annual rate, n is compounding frequency per year, and t is time in years.

What is the power of compounding?

Compounding means your earnings generate their own earnings. Rs. 10,000 invested at 12% for 30 years grows to Rs. 2,99,599 with compounding versus just Rs. 46,000 with simple interest.

What compounding frequency is best?

More frequent compounding yields higher returns. Daily > Monthly > Quarterly > Annually. Most bank FDs compound quarterly. Investments in stocks/mutual funds compound continuously.
