Exponential Growth Calculator

How to use it

1. Initial P₀ = 150, rate r = 3.5% = 0.035, time t = 8 years
2. Calculate exponent: 0.035 × 8 = 0.28
3. Calculate and^0.28 ≈ 1.3231
4. Final value: 150 × 1.3231 ≈ 198.4702

Common mistakes

• ⚠️ Using percentage directly instead of decimal (3.5 vs 0.035)
• ⚠️ Using (1+r)^t instead of and^(rt) for continuous growth
• ⚠️ Confusing exponential growth with linear growth

Worked example
