1. What is the CIMB Interest Rate Calculator?

The CIMB Interest Rate Calculator estimates the future value of savings using the compound interest formula. It helps you understand how your money can grow over time with regular compounding in a CIMB savings account.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

\[ A = P \times (1 + r/n)^{n \times t} \]

Where:

\( A \) — Future value of the investment/loan, including interest
\( P \) — Principal investment amount (initial deposit or loan amount)
\( r \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Number of times interest is compounded per year
\( t \) — Time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years

Explanation: The formula calculates how much your initial investment will grow when interest is compounded at regular intervals over time.

3. Importance of Compound Interest Calculation

Details: Understanding compound interest helps in financial planning, savings goal setting, and making informed decisions about investments and savings strategies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in currency, annual interest rate as a decimal value, number of compounding periods per year as an integer, and time period in years. All values must be positive numbers.
