How does compound interest grow savings over the years?

The calculator converts the annual nominal rate into an equivalent monthly rate for the compounding frequency you choose and adds monthly deposits at the end of each month. It shows the future value, the total of your deposits and the interest before tax and fees. For example, 1,000 KM to start and 100 KM a month at 4% for 10 years grows to 16,215.81 KM with monthly compounding. The rate is an assumption and returns are not guaranteed.
