Formula

Final = Initial × (1 + r)^t — r: growth rate per period, t: number of periods (discrete compounding)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is exponential growth?

Growth where each period's increase is proportional to the current value, so the total multiplies by (1 + r) every period instead of adding a fixed amount.

How is this different from compound interest?

The math is identical — compound interest is exponential growth applied to money. This tool uses yearly (per-period) compounding.

What about continuous growth?

For continuous growth the model is Final = Initial × e^(r×t), which grows slightly faster than discrete compounding at the same rate.
