Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It's 100% free with no limits — no registration, no payment, no hidden costs.

How does compound interest work?

Compound interest means you earn interest not only on your initial principal but also on accumulated interest. Over time, this creates exponential growth — the "snowball effect" that makes long-term investing powerful.

What's the best compounding frequency?

More frequent compounding (daily vs. annually) yields slightly higher returns. In practice, high-yield savings accounts compound daily, while stocks and mutual funds may compound through quarterly dividends or reinvestments.

Are the results exact?

Results are accurate mathematical projections based on fixed rates and regular contributions. Real-world returns vary due to market fluctuations, fees, taxes, and changing contribution amounts.
