What is Compound Interest?

Compound interest: the magic of earning money on money you earned.

Earning money on money

You invest 1,000€. Grows 7% yearly.

Year 1: 1,000 + 70 = 1,070€ Year 2: 1,070 + 74.90 = 1,144.90€ (earned on the new money!) Year 3: 1,144.90 + 80.14 = 1,225.04€

It's exponential. Grows faster each year.

After 10 years

1,000€ becomes 1,967€. Almost doubled.

After 30 years

1,000€ becomes 7,612€. Almost 8 times.

What matters

The more time, the bigger. Start now.

100€ at 20 > 10,000€ at 40.

Time > amount.
