In detail: Compound Interest Calculator for £25,000 over 15 Years
£25,000 is a meaningful starting amount: over 15 years, even a modest 5% real return turns it into £51,973.20, and a stock-market-like 7% turns it into £68,975.79. The difference between those two rates — about £17,002.58 — is entirely the power of a slightly higher compounding base rate over 15 years.
Over a 15-year horizon, compounding does real work: more than half of the ending balance typically comes from growth rather than the original £25,000. A Stocks & Shares ISA sheltering the returns would preserve every pound of this; holding it in a general investment account would expose gains above the annual CGT allowance to tax.
Adding monthly contributions to the pot accelerates this substantially. Even £100/month on top of £25,000 at 5% pushes the 15-year total up to roughly £74,473.20, because each contribution gets its own compounding tail.
