1. What is the Compound Interest Formula?

The compound interest formula calculates the future value of an investment or savings account where interest is earned on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. This formula is essential for understanding how savings grow over time at Nedbank.

\( n \) — Compounding frequency per year
