Let’s say you start with an initial deposit of R1000, and you plan to deposit R100 monthly, compounded annually, for 10 years, at an interest rate of 5%.
After 10 years, your total amount will be calculated as follows:
- Initial Deposit: R1000
- Regular Deposits (Monthly): R100 * 12 months/year * 10 years = R12000
- Total Contributions: R1000 + R12000 = R13000
The total amount after 10 years, considering compound interest, will be displayed along with a breakdown analysis of your savings.
