“Invest early to take better advantage of compounding”

As quoted by Ace Investor  “My wealth essentially comes from the combination of three things: living in America, luck, and compound interest”, said Warren Buffet.

Described as “The greatest force in the universe” by Albert Einstein, the mathematical formula for compound interest consists of evaluating the additional gains obtained through the reinvestment of capital and the returns obtained from a first investment.

This operation, reproduced over the years, makes it possible to obtain much larger returns without excessive effort.

Below is a comparative table of investments made at different ages for the same amounts up to the age of 60  in order to visualize the impact of compound interest and the vital role that number of years play in the growth of money so as to give better return.

S. No.	Investment Started at Age	Investment Period (upto age 60)	Monthly Amount Invested (In Rs.)	Invested Amount	Expected Amount	Wealth Gain
1	20	40yr	1000/-	4,80,000	63,76,781	58,96,781

We see that even by investing the same amounts per month, the investment made at the age of 20 years makes it possible to obtain the largest amount at age 60.
