How compound interest is calculated

For an initial principal P at annual rate r compounded k times per year for t years:

A = P · (1 + r/k)^k·t

Monthly contributions are added at the end of each month and compound from that point forward. The result is the future value of your initial investment plus the future value of your monthly contribution stream.
