Investment Growth

Compound Amount of One
The compound amount of one refers to the value that $1 would grow to if it is left on deposit with interest allowed to compound over a period of time.
Future Value
The future value is the value that a sum of money will have in the future when invested at compound interest. If the future value is *F*, and the present value is *P*, at an annual interest rate *r*, compounded annually for *n* years, the formula is *F = P*(1 + r)^n. This concept is crucial for understanding the growth of investments over time.
