How to calculate compound interest

The formula for calculating compound interest is expressed as;

A =P(1+r)^t

Given the following

A =  $5625.41

P = $4000

r = 0.031

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

$5625.41 = 4000(1.031)^t
1.4063525 = (1.031)^t
t = ln(1.4063525)/ln(1.031)

t = 0.34074/0.03052

t = 11 years

Hence the number of years it takes for the balance in your savings account to reach $5625.41 is 11 years
