Where:
Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest, where interest is earned on both the principal and accumulated interest over multiple compounding periods.
Details: Calculating future value helps Filipino savers and investors make informed decisions about their savings strategies, compare different investment options, and plan for long-term financial goals using the highest available interest rates in the Philippine market.
Tips: Enter the principal amount in PHP, the highest available interest rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.05 for 5%), number of compounding periods per year, and time in years. All values must be positive numbers.
