How Compound Interest Works

Formula: A = P(1 + r)^t

Where: A = Final Amount, P = Principal (Initial Investment), r = Annual Interest Rate, t = Time in Years

Compound interest means you earn interest on both your original investment and the interest you've already earned. This creates exponential growth over time, making it one of the most powerful tools for building wealth.
