Compounded Interest Rate With Python
To find the interest rate that would make daily savings of $1 grow to $30,000 over 365 days, we
can use the formula for the future value of a series of equal payments (an annuity), with interest
compounded daily.
The future value FVFVFV of an annuity can be calculated using the formula:
FV=P×(1+r)n−1rFV = P \times \frac{(1 + r)^n - 1}{r}FV=P×r(1+r)n−1
Where:
This equation is complex to solve algebraically, so we'll use numerical methods to find rrr. Let's
calculate this using Python.
To achieve a future value of $30,000 from daily savings of $1 over 365 days, the required annual
interest rate would be approximately 51833.51%. This is an extraordinarily high interest rate and
is not feasible in any standard financial scenario. It suggests that reaching $30,000 from such
small daily savings in such a short period is unrealistic under normal financial conditions.
