Frequently Asked Questions
Your common queries about compound interest, answered. Click on any question to reveal the answer.
What is compound interest?
Compound interest is "interest on interest." It is the interest you earn on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods, allowing your investment to grow at an accelerating rate.
How does compounding frequency affect my returns?
The more frequently interest is compounded, the higher the effective annual rate (EAR) will be. For example, a 12% annual rate compounded monthly is more valuable than the same rate compounded annually because your interest starts earning its own interest sooner and more often.
What is the difference between APR and APY?
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the simple annual interest rate. APY (Annual Percentage Yield) takes into account the effect of compounding. APY will almost always be higher than APR if the interest is compounded more than once a year. Our Rate Converter essentially helps you find the APY.
What is continuous compounding?
Continuous compounding is the mathematical limit that compound interest can reach. It represents interest being compounded an infinite number of times per year. While not used in practice for most consumer products, it is a crucial concept in financial mathematics.
