1.Total deposits = $1,000 + ($200 × 120) = $25,000
2.Future value with compound interest ≈ $32,264
3.Total interest earned ≈ $7,264

Result: $32,264

Frequently Asked Questions

High-yield savings accounts typically offer 4-5% APY, while CDs and money market accounts may offer competitive rates.

Both are beneficial. Starting with a larger initial deposit gives your money more time to compound, while regular deposits build the habit of consistent saving.
