Use the compound interest formula: A = P ( 1 + r n ) nt where r is the interest rate as a decimal , n is the number of times it is compounded in the time frame, t is the amount of time, and P is the starting value. Calculate your balance if you invest $1,000 for 1 year. A = 1000 ( 1 + 0.05 4 ) 4 ( 1 ) A = 1000 * 1.0125 4 A = 1000 * 1.05094522821 A = $1050.9 3. Using the compound interest formula, calculate your balance if you invest $1,000 for 5 years. A = 1000 ( 1 + 0.05 4 ) 4 ( 5 ) A = 1000 * 1.0125 20 A = 1000 * 1.28203700252 A = $1282.04 4.
