COMPOUNDING CALCULATOR

Compound interest may seem like magic, but it is a way to let your hard earned money work for you. The only catch is that you have to stick to a savings plan and not spend it!

Okay, lets see what this means. You get your first job when you are 16 and start saving $20 out of each paycheck and put it in a savings account, earning 3%. Since you get paid every 2 weeks that comes out to $520 a year.

That’s not too hard.

Lets say you keep doing this every year until you are 30.
You will have $9,671.44.

WOW! TRY IT FOR YOURSELF
