By starting early and consistently contributing to retirement accounts, individuals can amass significant savings by the time they retire. Retirement accounts benefit from decades of compounded growth, providing financial security in retirement.
Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money over time. Compounding helps counteract inflation by generating returns that outpace rising costs. Long-term investments that compound effectively ensure that retirees maintain their standard of living.
Retirement accounts often offer tax advantages that enhance the compounding effect. Contributions to tax-deferred accounts, like traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, grow without the immediate impact of taxes, allowing investments to compound more efficiently.
During retirement, a well-compounded portfolio provides a stable income stream. Strategic withdrawal plans, such as the 4% rule, ensure that retirees can draw down their investments without depleting the principal, allowing compounding to continue working in their favor.

The formula for compound interest is
the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest, the principal amount (the initial sum of money), annual interest rate (as a decimal), number of times that interest is compounded per year, and number of years the money is invested.
