It depends on the period. -- If the period is 1 year, the future value is 3.996 . -- If the period is 6 months, the future value is 2.026 . -- If the period is 3 months, the future value is 1.428 . -- If the period is 2 months, the future value is 1.269 . -- If the period is 1 month, the future value is 1.196 . These are compounded values. If interest is simple, then the value after 18 years is 2.44 .
