In detail: Compound Interest Calculator for £10,000 over 5 Years
£10,000 is a meaningful starting amount: over 5 years, even a modest 5% real return turns it into £12,762.82, and a stock-market-like 7% turns it into £14,025.52. The difference between those two rates — about £1,262.70 — is entirely the power of a slightly higher compounding base rate over 5 years.
Over a 5-year window, compounding hasn't yet done its heaviest lifting — the bulk of your end balance is still the original contribution. If you can extend the horizon to 20+ years (by starting earlier or leaving it untouched), the same £10,000 at 7% grows to roughly £38,696.84 at 20 years and £76,122.55 at 30.
Adding monthly contributions to the pot accelerates this substantially. Even £100/month on top of £10,000 at 5% pushes the 5-year total up to roughly £20,262.82, because each contribution gets its own compounding tail.
