Advanced Interest Calculator
Calculate simple and compound interest with contributions, inflation adjustment, and detailed growth analysis using charts and scenario comparison.
Formulas Used
- Simple Interest:
- Interest = P × r × t
- Compound Interest:
- FV = P × (1 + r/n)n×t
- With Contributions:
- FV = P(1+r/n)nt + C × [(1+r/n)nt − 1] / (r/n)
- Inflation Adjustment:
- Real Value = FV / (1 + inflation)t
- Effective Rate:
- EAR = (1 + r/n)n − 1
