How Compound Interest Works
Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. It's the key to exponential wealth growth.
The Compound Interest Formula
A = Final amount after compounding
P = Principal (initial investment)
r = Interest rate per period (as decimal)
t = Number of compounding periods
Daily Compounding
More frequent compounding means faster growth. Daily compounding gives you 365 opportunities per year for your money to grow.
Time Is Your Ally
The longer your money compounds, the more dramatic the results. Start early and let time work for you.
Reinvestment Matters
Reinvesting your earnings is what makes compounding powerful. Even partial reinvestment can significantly boost long-term returns.
Consistency Wins
Small, consistent gains compound better than sporadic large ones. A steady 0.5% daily beats occasional 5% days with losses in between.
Why Compounding Matters
Understanding compound growth is essential for making smarter financial decisions.
Exponential Growth
Unlike linear growth, compound returns accelerate over time. The longer you stay invested, the faster your wealth grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is compound interest?
Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. Unlike simple interest which only earns on the principal, compound interest earns 'interest on interest,' leading to exponential growth over time.
Why is 1% daily equal to 3,678% yearly?
This is the power of compounding. Each day's gain is added to the balance, so the next day's 1% is calculated on a larger amount. After 365 days of this, $1 becomes $37.78 (1.01^365 = 37.78), which is a 3,678% increase.
What's the difference between daily and monthly compounding?
Daily compounding applies interest 365 times per year, while monthly compounding applies it 12 times. More frequent compounding results in slightly higher returns because you earn interest on interest more often.
Is achieving 1% daily returns realistic?
Sustained 1% daily returns (3,678% annually) are extremely difficult and carry high risk. Most professional traders and hedge funds aim for 15-25% annual returns. Use this calculator to set realistic expectations for your trading or investment strategy.
What is the reinvestment rate?
The reinvestment rate is the percentage of your earnings that you reinvest rather than withdraw. At 100%, all earnings compound. At 50%, half your earnings compound while half are withdrawn. Lower reinvestment means slower growth but provides regular income.
How does excluding weekends affect the calculation?
For trading or business activities that don't occur on weekends, excluding them gives a more accurate picture. A year has about 252 trading days vs 365 calendar days, so the same daily rate compounds differently.
What is the reverse calculator used for?
The reverse calculator helps you determine what daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly rate of return you need to reach a specific goal amount in a given time period. It's useful for setting realistic trading or investment targets.
Can I use this for trading profit calculations?
Yes! This calculator is perfect for understanding how your trading returns compound over time. Enter your average daily win rate to see long-term projections, or use the reverse calculator to set daily targets based on your goals.
