1. What is Compound Interest?

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods. It allows investments to grow exponentially over time, making it a powerful tool for long-term wealth building with Nedbank investments.

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
\( P \) — Principal investment amount (ZAR)
\( r \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Number of compounding periods per year
\( t \) — Time the money is invested for (years)
