1. What is Compound Interest?

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the initial principal and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods. It allows savings to grow faster as interest is earned on both the principal and the accumulated interest.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

\[ FV = P \times (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{n \times t} \]

Where:

\( FV \) — Future Value (BDT)
\( P \) — Principal Amount (BDT)
\( r \) — Annual Interest Rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Number of compounding periods per year
\( t \) — Time in years

Explanation: The formula calculates how much an investment will grow over time with compound interest, taking into account the frequency of compounding.

3. Importance of Interest Calculation in Bangladesh

Details: Accurate interest calculation is crucial for financial planning, investment decisions, and understanding the growth potential of savings in the Bangladeshi banking system.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in BDT, annual interest rate as a percentage, select compounding frequency, and time in years. All values must be positive numbers.
