How It Works

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:
A = P × (1 + R ÷ n)^(n × T)

Where:

  • A is the final amount (total value after interest).
  • P is the principal amount (the starting amount).
  • R is the annual interest rate in percent.
  • n is how many times interest is compounded per year.
  • T is the time period in years.

Compound interest means you earn interest on both your original money and the interest it has already earned. Over time, this helps your money grow faster compared to simple interest.

Example

If you invest KES 10,000 at an annual interest rate of 5% for 2 years, compounded monthly (12 times per year):

A = 10,000 × (1 + 0.05 ÷ 12)^(12 × 2)
A = 10,000 × (1.0041667)^24
A ≈ KES 11,049

This means you earn about KES 1,049 in interest after 2 years — slightly more than simple interest, because your interest also earns interest.
