Frequently Asked Questions
What is daily compound interest?
Daily compounding means interest is calculated and added to your balance every day, so the next day's interest is earned on a slightly larger balance. More frequent compounding (daily vs monthly) yields a bit more over time, all else equal.
How much more does daily vs annual compounding add?
The difference is usually small for normal rates. At 7% on $10,000 for one year, daily compounding grows the balance to about $10,725 (a $725 gain) versus $10,700 with annual compounding (a $700 gain) β roughly $25 more. The gap widens with larger balances, higher rates, or longer periods.
Does this include taxes or fees?
No. The visualizer shows mathematical growth before taxes, inflation, or account fees. Use tax-advantaged accounts in practice to keep more of the growth.
