Frequently Asked Questions

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is interest calculated on both the initial principal and accumulated interest from previous periods. It causes investments to grow faster over time.

What is a realistic annual return rate?

Historical stock market returns average 7-10% annually. Conservative estimates use 6-7%, while aggressive growth might assume 10-12%. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Why does compound frequency matter?

More frequent compounding (monthly vs. annually) means interest is calculated and added more often, leading to slightly higher returns over time.
