Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
How is interest calculated? Interest is calculated based on the formula F = P (1 + (Q / 100))^T, where P is the principal, Q is the interest rate, and T is the time period in years.
What is compound interest? Compound interest is interest on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.
What happens if I increase the interest rate? Increasing the interest rate will result in a higher final value after the same time period, as interest compounds more quickly.
