Frequently asked questions
Does more frequent compounding make a big difference?
A small one. At the same rate, monthly compounding beats yearly, but the gain is modest compared with the effect of a higher rate or a longer time.
Which compounding do banks use for fixed deposits?
It varies by bank and product; quarterly is common for many term deposits. Check your deposit terms and use the matching frequency here.
