Compound Interest Formula
Where:
- A = the future value (or FV) of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount also known as present value or PV)
- r = the annual interest rate expressed in decimal form (decimal = %/100). r is also known as rate of return.
- n = the number compounding periods per year (n = 1 for annually, n = 12 for monthly, etc.)
- t = the time in years or fraction of years (multiples of 1/n. Ex.: 2/n, 3/n, etc.)
