You can put this solution on YOUR website!
After each compounding period (year) you will have 104% of what you started with (the original amount plus 4% interest). You can convert to a decimal (1.04) and multiply it 18 times 1.04%5E18. This number, multiplied by the original amount ($1000), will give you the amount after 18 years.

1.04%5E18%2A1000=2025.82
