Investment Analysis

Example Calculation

Certificate of Deposit Example

Principal: $10,000

Annual Interest Rate: 4.5%

Time Period: 3 years

Compounding: Quarterly

Calculation

Maturity Value = Principal × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)

Maturity Value = $10,000 × (1 + 0.045/4)^(4×3)

Maturity Value = $10,000 × (1.01125)^12

Maturity Value = $11,432.74

Total Interest Earned = $1,432.74

Tips for Maximizing Returns

Choose higher compounding frequency - Daily compounding yields more than annual
Longer investment periods - Time amplifies compound interest effects
Compare rates - Even 0.5% difference significantly impacts long-term returns
Avoid early withdrawals - Preserve compound growth and avoid penalties

What is Maturity Value?

Maturity value is the total amount you will receive when your investment reaches its maturity date. It includes your original principal plus all accumulated interest earned over the investment period through compound interest.

Investment Growth

Your money grows through compound interest, where you earn interest not only on your principal but also on previously earned interest, creating exponential growth over time.

Financial Planning

Understanding maturity value helps you plan for future financial goals, compare investment options, and make informed decisions about where to invest your money.

How to Calculate Maturity Value

Compound Interest Formula

Maturity Value = Principal × (1 + r/n)^(n×t)

Where:

• Principal = Initial investment amount

• r = Annual interest rate (as decimal)

• n = Number of compounding periods per year

• t = Time in years

Step 1: Identify Principal

Determine the initial amount you're investing. This is your starting principal that will grow over time.

Step 2: Interest Rate

Find the annual interest rate and compounding frequency. More frequent compounding increases returns.

Step 3: Calculate

Apply the compound interest formula to determine your final maturity value at the end of the investment period.
