| From: | To: |
The Daily Interest Rate Calculator calculates the future value of savings with daily compounding interest. It uses the formula A = P × (1 + r/365)^{365 × t} to determine how much your investment will grow over time.
The calculator uses the daily compounding formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates compound interest where interest is added to the principal daily, leading to exponential growth over time.
Details: Daily compounding allows your savings to grow faster than annual or monthly compounding because interest is calculated and added to your principal every day, earning interest on interest more frequently.
Tips: Enter principal amount in dollars, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 5 for 5%), and time period in years. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How does daily compounding differ from monthly compounding?
A: Daily compounding calculates interest every day, while monthly compounding calculates interest once per month. Daily compounding typically yields slightly higher returns over time.
Q2: What is the advantage of daily compounding?
A: Daily compounding maximizes the effect of compound interest by adding interest to your principal more frequently, accelerating the growth of your savings.
Q3: Can I use this calculator for different currencies?
A: Yes, the calculator works with any currency as long as you input the principal amount in your desired currency unit.
Q4: How accurate is this calculator?
A: The calculator provides accurate results based on the mathematical formula for daily compounding interest, assuming a constant interest rate over the entire period.
Q5: Does this account for taxes or fees?
A: No, this calculator provides the gross future value before taxes, fees, or other deductions. Actual returns may vary based on these factors.
