Assuming you mean a one-time investment of MYR1,000, earning 20% annual interest compounded monthly for 300 months (25 years):
- Principal: MYR1,000
- Annual interest rate: 20%
- Monthly rate: 20% ÷ 12 = 1.6667%
- Investment period: 300 months (25 years)
Using the compound interest formula:
FV=P(1+12r)300 FV=1000×(1+120.20)300≈MYR 141,570Results
- Final value: ≈ MYR141,570
- Profit (gain): ≈ MYR140,570
- Total ROI: ≈ 14,057%
- Growth multiple: ≈ 141.6× your original investment
A comparison over the same 25-year period:
| Annual Return | Final Value (MYR) | Growth Multiple |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | ≈ 12,068 | 12.1× |
| 20% | ≈ 141,570 | 141.6× |
This illustrates the dramatic effect of compounding: doubling the annual return from 10% to 20% increases the final value by more than 11 times, not just double.
