The amount of your initial investment, also called principal or lump sum.

The annual interest rate for your investment.

Compound Interest

Interest on an investment's interest, plus previous interest.

P = C (1 + r/n) ^nt

where
    P = future value
    C = initial deposit
    r = interest rate (expressed as a fraction: eg. 0.06)
    n = # of times per year interest in compounded
    t = number of years invested
When interest is only compounded once per yer (n=1), the equation simplifies to:

P = C (1 + r) ^t

Years

Number of years for this investment.
