Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How to Calculate Compound Interest? P is principal, I is interest rate, n is number of compounding periods. An investment of Rs 1, 00, 000 for 5 years at 12% rate of return compounded annually is worth Rs 1, 76, 234.

Detailed explanation-2: -For this reason, lenders often like to present interest rates compounded monthly instead of annually. For example, a 6% mortgage interest rate amounts to a monthly 0.5% interest rate. However, after compounding monthly, interest totals 6.17% compounded annually.
