How $100,000 grows at 9%
Compound interest earns returns on your returns — not just your original investment. At 9% per year, your money doubles every 8 years (the Rule of 72). Over 30 years, that compounds to a 13.27× multiplier.
In year 1, $100,000 earns $9,000 in interest. By year 30, the annual interest has grown to $109,550 — because each year's interest is calculated on a larger balance.
