Compounding: Interest is calculated and added to the balance at the selected compounding frequency. Daily compounding yields slightly more than monthly or yearly.
APY vs APR: APY (Annual Percentage Yield) already accounts for compounding effects. This calculator uses APY directly applied at the compounding frequency for simplicity.
Inflation: The inflation-adjusted value shows what your future savings would be worth in today's purchasing power. Default is 3% annual inflation.
Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates for educational purposes only. Actual returns may vary. Interest rates can change. Savings account rates are variable and not guaranteed. FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000 per depositor per institution.
