Mechanics of Monthly Compounding

Monthly compounding amplifies wealth accumulation by reinvesting profits twelve times annually. This regular cycle yields superior returns compared to yearly compounding, leveraging the power of frequent reinvestment.

Formula for Monthly Compounding:

\(A = P(1 + \frac{r}{12})^{12t}\)

where:

  • A = Ending balance
  • P = Initial capital
  • r = Yearly interest rate (decimal)
  • t = Duration in years
  • 12 = Monthly compounding periods
