Definitions:

Compound Interest

Present Value

The current value of a future cash amount or ongoing cash flows, when calculated with a specific return rate.

Compounded Monthly

A method of calculating interest where the earned interest is added to the principal at the end of each month, allowing the interest in the next month to be calculated on the new total.

Present Value

Today's value of a sum of money or sequence of cash flows set to be received in the future, calculated using a given rate of interest.
