In fact compound interest is exciting if you're lending but dangerous if you're borrowing as the interest is added to the principal and itself attracts interest.

To calculate compound interest use the Rule of 42. Divide the rate of interest into the number 42 and the answer is the number of periods - usually years when dealing with annual interest - for the principal, i.e. the sum borrowed and therefore the amount to be paid back, to double in value.

Example: borrow $1000 at 6% p.a., pay nothing each year and you will owe $2000 at the end of 7 years.

Conversely, use the rule of 42 to find out the rate of depreciation. If your $10,000 car depreciates at 6% a year then it will be worth $5000 at the end of 7 years.
