## Core Mathematical Formulas

- Compound Interest: A = P * (1 + r / n)^(n * t)
- APY Calculation: APY = (1 + r / n)^n - 1
- Rule of 72: Doubling Years ≈ 72 / (APY * 100)
- Real Rate of Return: Real_Return = (1 + Nominal_APY * (1 - Tax_Rate)) / (1 + Inflation_Rate) - 1
- Early Withdrawal Penalty: Penalty = Principal * (APR / 365) * Penalty_Days
