How $2,000 grows at 7%
Compound interest earns returns on your returns — not just your original investment. At 7% per year, your money doubles every 10.3 years (the Rule of 72). Over 30 years, that compounds to a 7.61× multiplier.
In year 1, $2,000 earns $140 in interest. By year 30, the annual interest has grown to $996 — because each year's interest is calculated on a larger balance.
