Interés compuesto

The idea

Cómo crece un saldo cuando los rendimientos se reinvierten y el crecimiento actúa sobre una base mayor.

Compound interest is the mechanism by which a balance grows when returns are left invested so later growth acts on a larger base.

This atlas page keeps the focus on mechanisms you can reason about: rates, time, contributions, costs and behaviour — not stock tips or promised yields.

Why it matters

Compound interest: keep the definition tight, the units dated, and the costs visible — then the “magic” looks like arithmetic with a long clock.
