If i understand your question right (you'll have to excuse me for not
knowing the english terms for stuff like interests) you're looking for
something like this
Balance on your account after n years = deposit x * (1 + r %) ^ n
F.ex
deposit $10,000 on december 31st at 6 % apr will accumulate to $12,624.77 if
you leave it for 4 years
10,000 * (1.06)^4 = 12,624.77
Hope this is what you're looking for!
