Compounding period (N) The compounding period (N) is the number of times the interest is compounded per year. The following compounding periods can be selected:
  • daily
    360, 364, 365 or 366 times per year
  • weekly
    52 times per year
  • bi-weekly (every two weeks)
    26 times per year
  • semi-monthly (twice a month)
    24 times per year
  • monthly
    12 times per year
  • bi-monthly (every two months)
    6 times per year
  • quarterly
    4 times per year
  • semi-annually (twice a year)
    2 times per year
  • yearly
    1 time per year
The compound interest equation:
N = log(FV / P)          or          N = log((I / P) + 1)
T * log(1 + R) T * log(1 + R)
where:
FV = Future value
I = Interest amount
P = Principal initial amount
R = Nominal interest rate per year (as a decimal, not in percentage)
T = Time period in years
N = Number of compounding periods in one year
