Compound interest is a powerful financial concept that can greatly boost your savings over time.

Unlike simple interest, which is calculated on the principal amount, compound interest grows on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.

This means your money grows at an accelerating rate, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to build wealth effortlessly.

The longer you let your money sit in an account that earns compound interest, the more significant the growth will be.

Even small amounts can grow substantially if left untouched for several years.

For instance, ₹1,000 invested at a 5% annual compound interest rate will grow to approximately ₹1,628 in 10 years without any additional contributions.

In case you invest ₹50,000, it will grow to approximately ₹81,445 in 10 years.

Frequency of compounding matters
Compounding frequency

The frequency at which your interest is compounded impacts how much you earn over time.

It can be compounded annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or on a daily basis.

The more often your interest is compounded, the higher your returns are because every compounding period builds on the previous one more often.
