Compounding lets you earn interest on earlier interest. Compare a balance with and without deposits to see how much comes from your own contributions. For example, 10,000 at 5% compounded annually grows to about 16,289 after ten years before fees and taxes.
The annual rate is nominal. Deposits are added at the end of each month; the monthly growth factor is derived from your selected compounding schedule.
