How compound interest works

Compound interest is interest earned on both your original balance and on interest you've already earned. The more often it compounds — daily, monthly, or annually — the faster your balance grows, especially over long time horizons.

Why regular contributions matter

Adding a fixed amount on a regular schedule (like a monthly deposit) compounds alongside your starting balance. Over 20–30 years, consistent contributions are often the biggest driver of the final total — more than the starting amount itself.
