In detail: Compound Interest Calculator for £25,000 over 5 Years
£25,000 is a meaningful starting amount: over 5 years, even a modest 5% real return turns it into £31,907.04, and a stock-market-like 7% turns it into £35,063.79. The difference between those two rates — about £3,156.75 — 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 £25,000 at 7% grows to roughly £96,742.11 at 20 years and £190,306.38 at 30.
Adding monthly contributions to the pot accelerates this substantially. Even £100/month on top of £25,000 at 5% pushes the 5-year total up to roughly £39,407.04, because each contribution gets its own compounding tail.
