Calculate compound interest
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Author: Ming Wen ([email protected])
This python script calculates compound interest:
1. Given (initial assets value, investment per year, growth rate, number of years),
find out final assets value.
Example usage:
$ python3 compound_interest.py --initial 50000 --invest-per-year 30000 --growth-rate 7.5 --years 15 --find target
2. Given (initial assets value, growth rate, number of years, target assets value),
find out required investment per year.
Example usage:
$ python3 compound_interest.py --initial 50000 --growth-rate 7.5 --years 15 --target 1000000 --find invest-per-year
3. Given (initial assets value, investment per year, number of years, target assets value),
find out required growth rate.
Example usage:
$ python3 compound_interest.py --initial 50000 --invest-per-year 30000 --years 15 --target 1000000 --find growth-rate
4. Given (initial assets value, investment per year, growth rate, target assets value),
find out required number of years.
Example usage:
$ python3 compound_interest.py --initial 50000 --invest-per-year 30000 --growth-rate 7.5 --target 1000000 --find years
