Good Evening,
Can anyone help me with the mathematical formula for investment. This the problem that I have to workout
Write a program to find future value of monthly investments. Start with an initial investment, make a deposit every 30days, calculate interest on principle compounded daily, display a table showing beginning balance, deposit for the year, interest earned for the year, and ending balance. The table should display the aforementioned information for a duration of your present age to 65. Display result in a table format as shown below.
Future Value Calculation
Initial Investment: $2000
Interest Rate: 12%
Deposit every 30 days: $100
Investment started: 50
Age Beg Bal Interest Deposits Ending Bal
51 2000 324.65 1200 3524.65

I'd make a form out of this, with number texboxes for all your variables (initial investment, interest rate etc.) and add a calculate button.
When you press the calculate button, the (on)click event gets then values and starts processing the data, concatenating an inital html string for each iteration of the loop. At the end print the string.

no, I was merely commenting because I have the exact problem now. I completed the code and i fired it up and it is structured correctly only the results are crazy wrong. So i wanted to know if you would be willing to help still or if you were merely side-stepping. No offense intended. Would you like to see what I have so far?

here is what I have but it returns screwy numbers. I have tried but i think my errors may be part in logic and part in math. Any corrections would be appreciated.

You should ask for the input of the user for the variables

At poloblue..what?! NO! it is as is. Constants. well, at least this is what I need right now anyway. Any help on the javascript code is what I am looking for.
Did you ever finish the code?

Creating the output rows from input vars (via form) is trivial except for the calculation of the interest and therefore the balance at the end of each year.
If I understand the OP, this requires a daily compound interest calculation.
This is complicated by the fact that payments are made every month. Each calendar month will be of a different length and I'm not sure when the monthly payments are made - at the end or the start of each month. Also leap years will account for an extra day.
SO say we start on 1st January 2015 with $2000. If the deposit ($100) is made on the 1st day interest will be calculated on $2100 etc whereas if deposits are made on any other day, the interest for that particular month will be less.
So we need more info - deposit day, e.g. 4th of every month, start year and month (to calculate when we have leap years to give an extra day's interest on Feb 29)
Compounding daily will produce a little more interest than a simple yearly compounding.
Perhaps I'm over-engineering the solution.

U r correct. This is where I need help! In the script.

I'm confused. Who's script are we looking at - yours or poloblue's issue?
