Continuously compounded interest is interest that is constantly being calculated and added to a balance. It can be calculated using the formula, A=Pe Rt. A stands for the total amount, P stands for the original investment, E stands for the constant 2.7183, R stands for the interest rate as a decimal, and T stands for the number of years.

A= Principle amount(1+ (rate/# of compounded periods))(#of compounding periods x # of years)
The "13 percent rate" is the equivalent annual rate. So the interest will be 130.

Banks that offer more frequent compounding usually lower the rate so that the annual equivalent rate remains the same. So the probable answer is no difference at all. Also, for the amount of money most people have in their bank accounts, the difference would, at best, be negligible. It would, quite likely, be less than the value that they attach to the time required to calculate the difference.
