The compound interest formula

FV = PV × (1 + r/n)n×t + PMT × [(1 + r/n)n×t − 1] / (r/n)
FV— Future value of the investment
PV— Initial capital (present value)
r— Annual interest rate
n— Compounding periods per year
t— Time in years
PMT— Periodic payment amount

How does it work?

Compound interest means you earn interest on your interest. Each period, your capital grows, and the calculation base widens. It's the snowball effect of long-term investing.

Time is your best asset

The earlier you start, the more powerful compounding becomes. Starting at 25 rather than 35, with the same monthly amount, can double your final capital. Time in the market beats timing the market.

Small amounts, big results

Even small monthly contributions have an enormous long-term impact. Adding €100 per month at 5% over 30 years generates over €80,000 in interest alone. Consistency beats size.
