A single lump-sum deposit compounds monthly — each period's interest gets added to the balance, so future interest is earned on a growing base.

FV = P × (1 + r/n)ⁿᵤ
where P = principal, r = annual rate, n = compounds/year, t = years
where P = principal, r = annual rate, n = compounds/year, t = years
