What is daily compounding?

Daily compounding means that the interest on the investment is computed on daily basis, 365 days a year.

In a bid to determine the total interest earned in one year on the investment whose interest is compounded daily, we can make use of the future value below to determine its worth after 1 year, from which the initial investment can be deducted to determine the interest in year 1.

FV=PV*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

PV=initial investment=$100,000

r=rate of return=6%

n=365 days a year

t=1 year

FV=$100,000*(1+6%/365)^(365*1)

FV=$106,183.13

Interest=$106,183.13 -$100,000

interest=$6,183.13

Annual yield=effective annual interest

EAR=(1+6%/365)^(365)-1

EAR=6.18%

What is monthly compounding?

It means interest is compounded or computed every month, 12 months a year

FV=PV*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

PV=initial investment=$100,000

r=rate of return=6%

n=12 months a year

t=1 year

FV=$100,000*(1+6%/12)^(12*1)

FV=$ 106,167.78  

Interest=$ 106,167.78  -$100,000

interest=$6,167.68

Annual yield=effective annual interest

EAR=(1+6%/12)^(12)-1

EAR=6.17%
