    In 4 years, you will have $2,635.38

    The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is:

    A = P (1 + r/n) ^ (nt)

    Where:

    A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

    P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)

    r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

    n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year

    t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for

    Note that this formula gives you the future value of an investment or loan, which is compound interest plus the principal. Should you wish to calculate the compound interest only, you need this:

    Total compounded interest = P (1 + r/n) ^ (nt) - P

    Without the use of formula:

    10% of 1800 = 180

    End of year 1 = 1800 + 180 = 1980

    10% of 1980 = 198

    End of year 2 = 1980 + 198 = 2178

    10% of 2178 = 217.8

    End of year 3 = 2178 + 217.8 = 2395.8

    10% of 2395.8 = 239.58

    End of year 4 = 2395.8 + 239.58 = $2635.38

    Interest = 2635.38 - 1800 = $835.38
