used in Monthly Compounding:

The interest earned on a savings account balance on a given end of day is calculated using the following:

...

Note
titleCompounding Periods Matter

The frequency of the posting period makes no difference (or neglible difference) to the interest earned on the savings account when using compound interest. But the compounding periods do. Not the slight different in interest earned for monthly compounding versus daily.

Compounded Monthly on Daily Balance

Based on 365 days in year, Nominal Annual Interest Rate: 5% and a monthly compounding period, monthly crediting period:

Daily Rate is: 0.0001369863014 ==> (0.05 x (1/365)).

The formula is: Interest = Balance x Daily Rate (DR) x Number of Days

The Balance in this case is always the end of day blance plus and cumulative interest earned in the compounding periods before hand (which in this case is previous months).

There is no difference between daily compounding and monthly compounding on what interest is credited at the end of the month after rounding: 3.40

The daily compounding results in (3.404197546 - 3.397260275 =) 0.006937271 more interest at the end of the month given the example account activity.

Compounding Monthly on Average Daily Balance

Average Balance Steps

The accumulated end-of-day balance of $24,800 is divided by the total number of days in the period (31) to find the average daily balance of $800.

The average daily balance should be rounded to five or more decimals, in this case $800.00000.

The periodic interest rate would be 0.00424657534 (0.5 x (1/365) x 31)

Step 1 5.0 divided by 100 Result: 0.05

Step 2 0.50 times 1/365 Result: 0.000136986

Step 3 0.000136986 times 31 Result: 0.004246575

Step 4 0.004246575 times $800 Result: 3.397260274

Step 5 Rounded Result: $3.40

Compounded Daily on Daily Balance

Nominal Annual Interest Rate: 12% (r=0.12)

Compounding period: Daily (365 in year) (1/365=0.0027397260273973)

Periodic interest rate i = 0.12 x 0.0027397260273973 = 0.0003287671232

Posting/Crediting period: monthly crediting period (n=12)

The formula is: Interest = Balance x periodic interest rate x Number of Days

The Balance in this case is always the end of day blance plus and cumulative interest earned in the compounding periods before hand (which in this case is previous days).

The account activity breaks down into the following End of Day Balances:
