How compound interest works
Compound interest allows your money to grow faster because you earn interest not only on your initial investment, but also on the accumulated interest over time.
Example
If you invest $1,000 with a 7% annual return and add $100 per month, your investment can grow significantly over time thanks to compounding.
Why it matters
- Helps grow long-term investments
