How Does Compound Interest Work (in Plain Language)?

Vizzve Admin

“Money Makes Money”—But How?

Ever heard someone say, “Just let your money grow with compound interest”?

It sounds like finance jargon. But don’t worry—Vizzve is here to break it down in plain, simple language, so you can actually use it to your advantage.

🔄 What Is Compound Interest?

🧮 In One Line:

Compound interest is interest earned on both your original money AND the interest it already made.

That’s right—your interest starts earning more interest.

📊 Simple Interest vs Compound Interest

Let’s compare:

YearSimple Interest (on ₹10,000 @10%)Compound Interest
1₹1,000₹1,000
2₹1,000₹1,100
3₹1,000₹1,210
Total₹3,000₹3,310

The difference keeps growing every year!

💡 The Formula (Optional, but Good to Know)

bash

CopyEdit

Compound Interest = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) - P  

Where:

P = Principal (initial money)

r = Interest rate

n = Number of times interest is applied per year

t = Time in years

But don’t worry—Vizzve calculates all of this for you automatically.

🚀 Why It’s Called “The 8th Wonder of the World”

Albert Einstein (allegedly) said:

“Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it… he who doesn’t, pays it.”

That means:

💰 Savers = earn interest on interest

💳 Borrowers = pay interest on interest if they delay payments

🧠 Real-Life Example

Rhea invested ₹5,000/month at 12% interest for 20 years.
Her total investment = ₹12 lakhs
Total corpus with compounding = ₹49.95 lakhs

She earned nearly ₹38 lakhs in interest!

That's the power of compounding. Start early. Stay consistent.

💸 Where Does Compound Interest Work?

✅ You Earn It From:

Fixed Deposits (FDs)

Recurring Deposits (RDs)

Mutual Funds (reinvested)

PPF, NPS, EPF

🧠 FAQs

Q1: How often does compounding happen?

It depends—annually, quarterly, monthly, or even daily. The more frequent, the faster your money grows.

Q2: Can I earn compound interest monthly?

Yes—especially in mutual funds, RDs, and some digital savings tools like Vizzve’s smart plans.

Q3: What if I delay investing by 5 years?

You lose a huge chunk of future earnings. Compounding needs time to work magic—start now.
