Frequently Asked Questions
How does compound interest help my savings?▾
Compound interest means you earn interest on your interest. Over time, this creates exponential growth. For example, $10,000 at 5% grows to $16,289 in 10 years without any additional deposits — that's $6,289 in free money from compounding alone.
How much should I save each month?▾
A common guideline is the 50/30/20 rule: 50% of income for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings and debt repayment. Even small amounts add up significantly over time thanks to compound interest.
What's a realistic savings account interest rate?▾
High-yield savings accounts currently offer 4-5% APY. Traditional savings accounts offer 0.01-0.5%. For long-term growth, consider index funds which historically return 7-10% annually, though with more risk.
