What is compound interest, and why does time matter so much? This beginner-friendly guide explains how interest can be earned on both your starting balance and interest already added, using simple UK examples.
Learn the difference between simple and compound interest, the effect of the interest rate and compounding period, and why starting earlier can change long-term savings growth. Actual savings rates can change, and investment returns are not guaranteed.
