TimeValue
Plug in a principal, rate, and time frame — see exactly how compounding frequency changes your final balance.
The same rate compounded daily earns slightly more than compounded annually, because interest starts earning its own interest sooner. The difference grows with higher rates and longer time frames.
Simple interest only ever applies to the original principal. Compound interest applies to principal plus all previously earned interest — over long periods this gap becomes enormous.
