Compound Frequency
The compound frequency determines when previously accrued interest is reflected in the next calculation.
- Annually : In the annual frequency, interest for one year is used to calculate the next year.
- Semiannually : In the semiannually frequency, interest for previous half-year is used to calculate the next half.
- Quarterly : In the quarterly frequency, interest for one quarter is used to calculate the next quarter.
- Monthly : In the monthly frequency, interest for one month is used to calculate the next month.
- Daily (360/yr) : In the daily frequency, interest accrued each day is used for calculation of the next day. This calculator assumes 30 days in a month and 360 days in a year. Therefore, there may be slight differences from the actual results.
