How CD Interest Works: Why 5.00% APY Compounded Daily Beats Monthly

A 5.00% APY yields $10,500 on $10,000 after one year whether compounded daily or monthly; daily only wins by about $1.06 when 5.00% is nominal. Compare APYs.

Abstract

A 5.00% APY yields $10,500 on $10,000 after one year whether compounded daily or monthly; daily only wins by about $1.06 when 5.00% is nominal. Compare APYs.
