How This Tool Works & Educational Guide

What is Compound Interest? Simply put, compound interest is the interest you earn on both your original money and on the interest you've already accumulated. It is what makes investments grow exponentially over time, famously referred to by Albert Einstein as the "eighth wonder of the world."

How to use this tool:

Principal & Contributions: Input what you are starting with and what you plan to add. Consistency is the secret to high yields.
Years to Grow: Time is the most important factor in the compound interest formula. Adjust this to see how leaving your money invested for just a few extra years dramatically spikes the "Total Interest Earned."
Interest Rate & Compound Interval: Input your expected return. A "Daily" compound interval will yield slightly higher returns than an "Annually" interval because your interest begins earning its own interest much faster.

Why ByteBuster is Different (The Technical Concept): When calculating financial futures, privacy is paramount. Traditional financial sites upload your data to a server to calculate the amortization schedule. The ByteBuster architecture is a 100% client-side engine. The complex mathematical loops and HTML5 canvas charts are drawn entirely in your local browser's memory. We cannot see your numbers, and the execution latency drops to zero.
