Learning Objectives • Understand the concept of compound interest • Calculate compound interest using a spreadsheet • Compare the results of simple addition, simple interest and compound interest for a given situation Continue
Learning Objectives- The problem We want to see the difference compound interest can make when someone saves for the future. So imagine you are faced with a choice: • Save your money in a jar ($100/month for 20 years.)(Simple Addition) • Put your money in the bank but then take it out at the end of each year and put it in the jar ($100/month for 20 years).(Simple Interest) • Put your savings into the bank as you earn it and earn compound interest ($100/month for 20 years- leaving it in the bank).(Compound Interest) We know that you will have more money under situation 3, but how much more?

Simple Addition Welcome to the first step in your journey. All you have to do to move on is to answer the question on the following page. Oh, there is one catch…in order to answer the question, you need to complete the spreadsheet assignment on simple addition. Remember, you are saving $100 per month for 20 years… Continue Main Menu Click me for the spreadsheet…

Correct! Here is your hint to get to the next section…. 76.2% of American households have at least 1 credit card, bank card, or store card. Hint: you’d better write that number down somewhere, you’re going to need it! Now go back to the main menu and complete the next section. Main Menu
Simple Interest By now you should have completed the Simple Addition spreadsheet. If you did then answer the question below. If you didn’t, then go back and do it. What percentage of American households have no credit cards, no bank cards and no store cards? (Click on the correct answer) A. 3% B. 23.8% C. 13.5% D. 42.6% Main Menu

Simple Interest Now we’re going to see how much money you would have if you put that $100 per month into the bank and cleaned out the bank account at the end of each year and started over. Click here to begin the next spreadsheet project Main Menu
Compound Interest-1 So you want to learn about compound interest? First let’s see if you finished the section on simple interest How much more money does a college graduate earn over a high-school grad? 50% More $$ 4 times as much $$ 2 times as much $$ Go Back Main Menu
Compound Interest-2 Some people are afraid to put their money into a bank, especially in today’s economy. But banks pay interest so you can earn more on your savings. Also, your savings are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) up to $100,000. So even if your bank goes out of business, you’ll still get your money. So what if you left the money in the bank and earned interest for 20 years. How much would you have then? To find out, we’ll first have to learn about compound interest… Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-3 In the last spreadsheet you completed, you simply added up the interest from each year. But that’s not how it works in reality. Each year you earn interest, you add that interest to your principle and it becomes part of it. So next year, you earn money on the new principle which includes last year’s interest. Let’s look at an example… Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-4 Let’s say we start with $1,000 which we put in the bank at an APR of 4%. So at the end of year 1, you would have $1,000 x .04 = 40 (that’s the interest) $1,000 + 40 = $1,040 (that’s your total) Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-5 At the end of year 1, you would have $1,000 + 40 = $1,040 So year 2, you would start with $1040 as your principle and earn interest of 4% on that: $1,040 x .04 = 41.60 $1,040 + 41.60 = $1081.60 Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-6 At the end of year 2, you would have $1,040 + 41.60 = $1081.60 Notice that the interest for year 1 was $40 while the interest for year 2 was $41.60. Year 3, the interest will be even more because each year the principle increases as you add the interest from the previous year. Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-7 Now let’s work up a simple spreadsheet that shows us how this compound interest works. We will take $500 principle and calculate compound interest of 6% APR for 5 years. Click on “Continue” to see a sample spreadsheet. Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-8 By now you should be able to create this spreadsheet without any trouble. So go ahead and try. If you get stuck, there is help built-in. Remember, you have to submit the spreadsheet, so you can’t just type in the numbers, you have to use formulas. Continue Click here to build your spreadsheet Main Menu
Compound Interest-9 By now you’ve figured out that compound interest is all about time. Actually, we refer to compound interest at “the time value of money.” The spreadsheet you just built was easy, but not very realistic. You see, most banks compute interest on a monthly basis, using an annual rate. The math to do this is easy in theory… You simply take the APR and divide by 12 to get the monthly interest rate. Example: APR = 10% .10/12 = .0833 So you would multiply the principle by .0833 each month. But remember, you need to add the interest each month as well. So let’s look at what our spreadsheet would look like for our last example… Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-10 This is getting to be a pretty big spreadsheet and we’ve only done 1 year’s worth! Now imagine building a spreadsheet to calculate our original problem of saving $100 per month for 20 years!! There has to be an easier way… Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-11 Want a faster way to calculate the future value of your investment? Well we’ve got it. Take a look at the right side of the spreadsheet. Excel has a formula called FV (future value) and all you have to do is plug in the variables and have Excel calculate the interest for you. Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-12The FV Formula The formula for future value is: FV(rate,nper,pmt,pv,type) • Rate is the interest rate per period. Remember to divide by 12 for monthly interest. • Nper is the total number of payment periods in an annuity. So 12 x #years for monthly interest. • Pmt is the payment made each period; it cannot change over the life of the annuity. If pmt is omitted, you must include the pv argument. • Pv is the present value, or the lump-sum amount that a series of future payments is worth right now. (Another way to think of this is the money you start with). If pv is omitted, it is assumed to be 0 (zero), and you must include the pmt argument. • Type is the number 0 or 1 and indicates when payments are due. If type is omitted, it is assumed to be 0. • Set type equal to 0 if payments are due at the end of the period 1 At the beginning of the period. (You can skip this for our purposes). Important note: when you enter Pmt or PV you must enter them as a negative value, i.e. -100 or your final answer will show as a negative. Continue Main Menu
Compound Interest-13 Now it’s time to use the FV formula to figure out how much money we will have after 20 years. Continue Click here to complete the spreadsheet Main Menu
Compound Interest-14 So what did you get? After 20 years of saving $100 per month at 6% APR, you would have an approximate total of… $24,000 $25,200 $41,100 $32,000 Go Back Main Menu

Sorry, that’s incorrect Go back and try again. Main Menu
Correct! Click here, then go on to the next question! Main Menu
You’re done! So, by simply adding up your $100 per month, you would save $24,000 over 20 years. If you put that same money in the bank at an APR of 5%, you would end up with over $41,000 thanks to compound interest! If you haven’t completed the quiz, go back to the main menu and give it a try!
