1. What is Daily Compound Interest?

Daily compound interest calculates interest on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods, with interest being calculated and added to the principal balance every day.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

\[ A = P \times (1 + r/365)^{(365 \times t)} \]

Where:

\( A \) — Future value of the investment/loan
\( P \) — Principal investment amount
\( r \) — Annual interest rate (in decimal)
\( t \) — Time the money is invested/borrowed for (in years)
365 — Number of compounding periods per year (daily)

Explanation: The formula calculates how much an investment will grow when interest is compounded daily, providing the most frequent compounding schedule.

3. Importance of Daily Compounding

Details: Daily compounding maximizes investment growth as interest is calculated and added to the principal every day, allowing your money to grow faster compared to less frequent compounding periods.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in ₹, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 5 for 5%), and time in years. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does daily compounding differ from other compounding frequencies?
A: Daily compounding calculates interest every day, resulting in faster growth compared to monthly, quarterly, or annual compounding.

Q2: What's the advantage of daily compounding?
A: Your money grows faster because interest is calculated on a daily basis and added to your principal, creating a snowball effect over time.

Q3: Is daily compounding available for all investments?
A: While many savings accounts and some investments offer daily compounding, it's important to check the specific terms of your financial product.

Q4: How does the time period affect compound interest?
A: The longer your money remains invested, the more significant the compounding effect becomes due to exponential growth.

Q5: Can this calculator be used for loans as well?
A: Yes, the same formula applies to calculating the future value of loans with daily compounding interest.
