Compound Interest Calculator

How Our Compound Interest Calculator Works

Our Compound Interest Calculator helps you estimate the growth of your investments in Indian Rupees (₹) by calculating the future value and interest earned. It uses the compound interest formula, accounting for different compounding frequencies, and visualizes the results with a pie chart for clarity.

Calculation Logic

The calculator uses the formula FV = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t), where P is the principal (e.g., ₹1,00,000), r is the annual interest rate (e.g., 8%), n is the compounding frequency (e.g., 4 for quarterly), and t is the time in years (e.g., 10). Interest earned is future value minus principal. Results are formatted in INR (e.g., ₹12,34,567), and the pie chart shows principal vs. interest earned, helping you understand your investment’s growth.

Steps to Use

Enter the principal amount (e.g., ₹1,00,000).

Input the annual interest rate (e.g., 8%).

Specify the time period in years (e.g., 10 years).

Select the compounding frequency (e.g., Quarterly).

Click "Calculate" to view future value, interest earned, and pie chart.
