Annual Percentage Yield (APY):
This is the effective annual interest rate earned for this CD. A CD's APY depends
on the frequency of compounding and the interest rate. Since APY measures your actual
interest earned per year, you can use it to compare CD's of different interest rates
and compounding frequencies.
Compounding:
Interest earned on your CD's accumulated interest. This calculator allows you to
indicate the frequency with which your CD's interest income is added to your account. The
more frequently this occurs, the sooner your accumulated interest income will generate
additional interest. The interest will
remain and compound with principal.
