What compounding actually does

Interest is earned on the interest already credited. That is why the curve looks almost straight for the first few years and only then bends upward — and why the time horizon matters more than the size of the deposit. The calculator runs month by month: interest on the balance first, then the deposit. The final month's deposit therefore earns nothing yet, exactly as in a real savings plan.

The return you enter is nominal. What counts is what survives inflation, which is why the final amount comes with its value in today's money. Seven percent a year against two percent inflation is under five in real terms. The calculator ignores capital gains tax and fund fees; both cut the result further.

The one number worth remembering is the rule of 72: seventy-two divided by the return in percent is roughly how many years it takes to double your money. Ten years at seven percent, six at twelve. None of it is guaranteed — historical averages of stock indices or bitcoin promise nothing about the future.
