1. What is Compound Interest with Tax?

Compound interest with tax calculates the final amount of an investment after accounting for compounding growth and tax deductions. This is particularly relevant for New Zealand investors who need to consider tax implications on their investment returns.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula with tax:

\[ A = P \times (1 + R / n)^{(n \times T)} - \text{Tax} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal amount (NZD)
\( R \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding frequency per year
\( T \) — Time in years
\( \text{Tax} \) — Tax amount to be deducted (NZD)
\( A \) — Final amount after tax (NZD)

Explanation: The formula calculates the compound growth of your investment and then subtracts the applicable tax amount to give you the net return.

3. Importance of Tax Considerations

Details: In New Zealand, investment returns are subject to tax. Accurate calculation of after-tax returns is crucial for proper financial planning and investment decision-making.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all values in the specified units. Principal and tax should be in NZD, interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.05 for 5%), compounding frequency as times per year, and time in years.
