APY formula

APY = (1 + r ÷ n)ⁿ − 1 (continuous: e^r − 1)

APY includes the effect of compounding, so it’s what you actually earn in a year. 4.5% compounded daily is an APY of about 4.60%. Banks must quote APY on savings accounts under the US Truth in Savings Act, which makes comparison easy.

Frequently asked questions

Is APY higher than APR?

Yes whenever interest compounds more than once a year.
