If you have $10 today, you can invest that $10 and earn interest. If, for example, you earn 5% interest, you will earn $0.50 interest and have a total of $10.50 at the end of one year. If you invest the $10.50 for another year, you will earn $0.53 interest and have a total of $11.03 at the end of the second year. In year two, you earned $0.50 interest on your initial $10 and $0.03 interest on the $0.50 interest earned in year one. Earning interest on interest is called compound interest. The longer you leave your money invested, the greater the compounding effect becomes.
