In detail: Compound Interest Calculator for £100,000 over 10 Years

£100,000 is a meaningful starting amount: over 10 years, even a modest 5% real return turns it into £162,889.46, and a stock-market-like 7% turns it into £196,715.14. The difference between those two rates — about £33,825.67 — is entirely the power of a slightly higher compounding base rate over 10 years.

Over a 10-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 £100,000 at 7% grows to roughly £386,968.45 at 20 years and £761,225.50 at 30.

Adding monthly contributions to the pot accelerates this substantially. Even £100/month on top of £100,000 at 5% pushes the 10-year total up to roughly £177,889.46, because each contribution gets its own compounding tail.
