JavaScript Compound
Interest Calculator
My friend Mark Pollard asked
me "How rich would Jesus be today, if he was an investment banker?", so
I wrote this JavaScript program to calculate a compounded annually accredited
interested rate over any given period of time. The program is year 2000
compliant, works with dates BC (just use negative numbers), and will go
many millions of years into the future if needs be. You'll need a suitably
fast computer to go this far ahead however. But actually... how rich was jesus anyhow?
This rich by 2000 at 2%: $155,504,639,961,153,000! I've checked the accuracy with this Excel file but its got an obvious rounding error and of course the fact that most investments would compound monthly
not yearly etc.
When the screen is RED
Javascript is doing calculations, when it is GREEN
CPU is idling.
