Tips & FAQ
QUESTION 1
What is compound interest?
A system where interest is calculated on both the principal and previously earned interest. The effect grows larger over time.
QUESTION 2
How does compound frequency affect results?
Higher frequency (daily > monthly > annually) results in slightly larger final amounts due to more frequent compounding.
QUESTION 3
What are the benefits of regular investing?
Regular contributions provide time diversification benefits and dollar-cost averaging effects.
QUESTION 4
What are realistic return rates?
Long-term stock market averages are typically 5-7% annually, while bonds average 2-4%.
QUESTION 5
What is the Rule of 72?
Divide 72 by the interest rate to estimate how many years it takes for money to double (e.g., 6% rate = 12 years).
