Curious as to how much your savings will grow based on a given APR? This calculator will show you how much your savings investment will grow based on APR. It will also factor in how the interest is compounded, and how long you plan to keep the money in the account. The formula is the same, regardless of whether you have a regular savings account or a money market account.
How do you calculate APR on a savings account?
To compound interest, you would divide the APR by the frequency the bank calculates dividends. This can be daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Then incrementally multiply that rate by your balance for each period. Savings accounts and money market accounts typically compound interest daily. To compound savings on a monthly or quarterly basis, many financial institutions will rely on your average monthly balance for that given period.
