Amount accrued= principal(1+ annual interest/4)^(4*years)
To put this into a calculator divide the annual interest by 4 then add 1.
Take this number to the power of 4 times the number of years.
Lastly multiply times how much money you started with.
An example:
$1000 at 4% compounded quarterly for 2 years.
.04 divided by 4 + 1 = 1.01
1.01 ^(4*2)=1.0828567056
$1000*1.082856=$1082.86
Because it was compounded quarterly you made
$2.86 more than simple interest.
