SUMMARY
=======

This article describes some of the limitations of the Compound Interest
InterActivity in Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia.

MORE INFORMATION
================

You can only type whole numbers in the Monthly Contribution and Interest Rate
boxes.

The monthly contribution must be a number between 1 and 9999, and the interest
rate must be a number between 1 and 99999.

You cannot type a COMMA (,) or PERIOD (.) in the Monthly Contribution box or the
Interest Rate boxe.

If the amount of time required to accumulate $1,000,000 is very long (for
example, over 100 years), you are unable to see the entire results chart.

NOTE: The Compound Interest InterActivity calculates the correct number of years
you need to save $1,000,000, but it rounds the value to the nearest whole year.
