Frequently asked questions
How does this daily compound interest calculator work?
Enter principal, an annual rate percent, and years. Interest is added 365 times per year; n is not an input. The page shows ending amount, interest earned, and effective annual yield. Math runs in your browser. Nothing is stored.
What does daily compounding mean?
Daily compounding adds interest to the balance 365 times per year. Each day’s interest is calculated on principal plus interest already added. This daily compound interest calculator uses that schedule only.
Why is n fixed at 365?
The formula is A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n × t). Here n is 365 (days per year) and is not an input. This page does not switch to monthly, quarterly, or continuous compounding.
What is effective annual yield on this calculator?
Effective annual yield is shown as A/P − 1, then as a percent to two decimal places. Years is always an input, so the yield figure is always shown with the ending amount and interest earned.
Is this investment or tax advice?
No. Results are estimates only. This is not investment advice, tax advice, or financial advice. It does not recommend products and it is not a tax-filing or brokerage system. Confirm figures with your records or a qualified professional.
Do I need an account? Do you store the numbers I enter?
No. The math runs in your browser. There is no signup, and Tallymill does not save your principal, rate, or years. Refreshing the page clears the form.
