In detail: Compound Interest Calculator for £15,000 over 10 Years
£15,000 is a meaningful starting amount: over 10 years, even a modest 5% real return turns it into £24,433.42, and a stock-market-like 7% turns it into £29,507.27. The difference between those two rates — about £5,073.85 — 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 £15,000 at 7% grows to roughly £58,045.27 at 20 years and £114,183.83 at 30.
Adding monthly contributions to the pot accelerates this substantially. Even £100/month on top of £15,000 at 5% pushes the 10-year total up to roughly £39,433.42, because each contribution gets its own compounding tail.
