Static table of compound interest multipliers using annual compounding. Each cell is a growth factor for (1 + r)t, where r is the annual rate and t is the number of years.
The result is a multiplier: how many times larger an amount becomes after compounding at a fixed annual rate. Multiply any starting amount by the table value to compute its future value.
How to read this: A multiplier of 2.00 means “double.” Multiply any starting amount by the multiplier to get the future value.
A compound interest multiplier is the growth factor produced by (1 + r)t. It tells you how many times larger an amount becomes after compounding at a fixed annual rate for a specified number of years.
No. This is nominal growth under annual compounding only. It does not account for inflation, taxes on gains, investment fees, or cash flows (contributions and withdrawals).
Compounding is exponential. Small differences in annual rate create modest gaps early on and large gaps over long horizons. Time magnifies rate differences.
Multiplier at year t for annual rate r is: (1 + r)t
