Formula Explanation
Future Value = P(1+r)^n + PMT × [((1+r)^n - 1) / r]Where P is the initial deposit, PMT is the monthly contribution, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), and n is the number of months. This formula calculates the future value with both initial deposit and regular contributions.
Tips
Start saving early - time is the most powerful factor in savings growth.
Even small monthly contributions add up significantly over time.
Higher interest rates dramatically increase your savings growth.
Automate your savings to ensure consistent contributions.
