Start planning to stop working today.
Without a doubt, compounding interest is the most important concept to know to help you achieve financial independence earlier. At its most basic, compounding interest is a money multiplier. It is the money you earn for free from your money and is a key cornerstone in being financially independent.
Everyone can take advantage of compounding interest, and you can start immediately. For example, let’s say you invest $100 each month with a 10% overall return each year (compounding quarterly). After 30 years, you’ll have saved $36,000. How much money do you think you would have earned from compounding interest? $60,000? $80,000? You earned over $180,000; making your total savings of $36,000 worth over $220,000 at the end of the 30 years (more than 6 times the amount you had saved).
The Compounder calculator allows you to not only plan and calculate long and short-term savings potential, but also theory craft the impact of a flat taxation rate and inflation on your retirement goals.
