  3. Compound Interest Compounding interest is where money earned is added to the principal and then recalculated to find a new amount.

  5. Compound Interest p = principal (the amount you start with – for example the amount you invest, the amount you take the loan for etc…) r = rate (it’s the % - but change it to a decimal for this formula t = time in years n= # of times it’s compounded per year

  6. In the first year John will earn: Example1: John earns 6% annual interest compounded annually (or 1 time per year) on his $1000 investment. How much money will John have after 4 years? Now take this amount and use it as the new principal to find the balance in the third year. This process is what we call recursive (using the previous answer to help us find the next.) Now take the new amount and put it into the principal to find the amount he will have in the second year.

  7. How much would you earn on this investment after 4 years? The balance after the 4th year is calculated using $1191.02 as the principal. $1262.48 – $1000.00 = $262.48

  8. Remember* If it compounds semi-annual n = 2 If it compounds quarterly n = 4 If it compounds monthly n = 12

  9. Example 2:How much money will you have at age 18yrs. if your parents invest $12,000 at 10% compounded annually for 2 years? In 2 years you will have $14,520 in that account.

  10. Example 3:If you invest $25.00 at 6% interest compounded semi-annually, how much will you have after 1 year? You would have $26.52 in your account.

  11. You Try: If you invest $1,000 at 8% interest compounded semi-annually how much will you have after 1 year? How much would you have after 1 years at this rate? Answer: $1,081.60
