I'm thinking of bonds when answering this question. The more frequent the compounding the better it will be for the lender. The less frequent the compounding the better it will be for the borrower. Lets use this example: Interest = 10% Principle = $1000 Compounding A = Annually Compounding B = Quarterly Time period = 2 years A) At the end of the first year $100 in interest would have been made making the balance $1100. At the end of the second year $110 would be earned because of compounding and the balance would be $1210. B) At the end of the first year $103.81 in interest would have been earned with a ending balance of $1103.81. At the end of the second year the interest earned would be $114.59 and the ending balance would be $1218.40. What I showed here is that if you are the one receiving the interest you would prefer daily compounding. When you're paying out interest you would prefer simple interest.

It all depends with the amount of the annual or daily compounding. In most cases it is however the daily compounding that pays more than the annual compounding.

I think most banks use daily compounding, but you could use the continuous compounding to approximate daily compounding and be off by less than 0.2%

The greater the number of compounding periods, the larger the future value. The investor should choose daily compounding over monthly or quarterly.
The main difference between daily and monthly compounding for an investment with a fixed interest rate is the frequency at which the interest is calculated and added to the investment. Daily compounding results in slightly higher returns compared to monthly compounding because interest is calculated more frequently, allowing for the compounding effect to occur more often.
Yes, daily compounding is generally more effective than monthly compounding for maximizing returns on investments because it allows for more frequent accrual of interest on the principal amount.
The difference in returns between an investment compounded daily versus compounded monthly is that compounding daily results in slightly higher returns due to more frequent compounding periods, which allows for faster growth of the investment.
The more often it is compounded the better. So daily is the best, next is weekly, monthly etc. The greater the number of compounding periods, the better it is for your bottom line.
The more frequent the compounding of interest, the faster your savings will grow. For example, daily compounding will result in faster growth compared to monthly or annual compounding since interest is being calculated more frequently. This is due to the effect of compounding on the earned interest, allowing it to generate additional interest over time.
Compounding frequency refers to how often interest is calculated and added to the principal amount in an investment or loan. It can affect the overall growth of the investment or the total interest paid on a loan. Common compounding frequencies include annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, and daily.
