1. What is the Compound Interest Formula?

The compound interest formula calculates the future value of an investment or loan based on the principal amount, interest rate, compounding frequency, and time period. It demonstrates how money grows over time through the power of compounding.

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

Explanation: The formula calculates how much your money will grow over time with compound interest, where interest is earned on both the principal and accumulated interest.

3. Importance of Interest Calculation

Details: Understanding compound interest helps in financial planning, investment decisions, and comparing different savings or investment options. It shows how small, regular investments can grow significantly over time.

4. Using the Calculator

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