Frequently Asked Questions

What does compound interest mean?
Compound interest means you earn interest on both your initial principal AND on the interest that has already been added. This creates exponential growth over time, often called "interest on interest."
How often should interest compound for maximum growth?
More frequent compounding produces slightly more growth. Daily compounding produces the highest return for a given annual rate, but the difference between monthly and daily is usually very small for typical savings rates.
