In compound interest accounts, interest can be compounded at various intervals, such as annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily. This means that the interest earned over a period is added to the principal amount, resulting in interest being calculated on the new total in subsequent periods. The more frequently interest is compounded, the more total interest will accumulate over time, leading to greater growth of the investment. This compounding effect can significantly enhance returns compared to simple interest, where interest is calculated only on the original principal.
"Compounded annually" means that the interest is added once a year.
The choice between daily, monthly, or quarterly compounding depends on the investment or savings goals. Daily compounding typically yields the highest returns because interest is calculated and added more frequently, allowing for faster growth. Monthly compounding is better than quarterly, but less advantageous than daily. Ultimately, the more frequently interest is compounded, the more interest you earn over time.

This is a term used while understanding the interest calculation for deposits. Compounded quarterly means - the interest would be compounded every quarter. Let us say you deposit $1000 in a bank @ 10% interest per year. One year = 4 quarters At the end of the 1st quarter: principal = 1000, Interest = 25 => Value of your investment at the end of the 1st qtr = $1025 At the end of the 2nd quarter: principal = 1025, Interest = 25.625 => Value of your investment at the end of the 1st qtr = $1050.625 If you see here, the interest earned here is 25.625 whereas the interest earned in the previous quarter was only $25. This is because for calculation of interest for the 2nd quarter, the interest earned in the first quarter would be added to the principal. Shorter the compounding interval more the interest earned.
In terms of economics, compounded interest means the interest earned from the principal and added interest. In many cases, this method is always used by some internet scammers to lure people to invest.
Compounding frequency refers to how often interest is calculated and added to the principal amount in an investment or loan. Common compounding frequencies include daily, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. The more frequently interest is compounded, the higher the overall return or cost will be on the investment or loan.
