How APY works

APY counts interest earned on interest. A rate compounded daily earns a little more than the same rate paid once a year, and the APY is the single figure that lets you compare them. Banks must quote it under the Truth in Savings rules (Regulation DD).

The formula: APY = (1 + rate ÷ periods per year) to the power of the periods per year, minus 1. Daily compounding uses 365 periods.
