Use the "rule of 72"...simply put, using compound interest you take the number 72 and divide it by the interest rate. Thus, at 5% the time to double is 14.4 years. This formula can be used for calculating a "double" for any interest rate using the same mathematical procedure.
8 percent compounded quarterly is equivalent to approx 36% annually. At that rate, after 3 years the ending balance would be 1762.72 approx.

Your capital in a poor savings account.
Yes, that's an accurate number.
8 percent compounded quarterly is equivalent to approx 36% annually. At that rate, after 3 years the ending balance would be 1762.72 approx.
If you opened a savings account and deposited 5000 in a six percent interest rate compounded daily, then the amount in the account after 180 days will be 5148.

The more times that interest is compounded the more growth of savings.
It would be 259.0875 so, I would guess most banks would round that DOWN to 259.08 rather than up.

12 percent, compounded monthly is the equivalent of an annual rate of approx 390%. At that rate, 1290 would be worth 5025.81 (approx).
The final amount is $1,647.01
Compound Interest and Your Return How interest is calculated can greatly affect your savings. The more often interest is compounded, or added to your account, the more you earn. This calculator demonstrates how compounding can affect your savings, and how interest on your interest really adds up!
That depends on whether you are getting 5% simple interest, or compound interest, and how often it is compounded. Simple interest is very easy to calculate; you just multiply. $500 at 5% earns 5% of $500 every year, which is $25, so in 20 years the interest earned is 20 x $25 or $500, for a total of $1,000. But if you put the money in a savings account in a bank, you get compound interest. It can be compounded annually, semi-annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily. The more often it is compounded, the more you earn. Nowadays you can get daily interest, but that is kind of complicated because it depends on whether you figure the interest for every single day, 365 days a year and 366 in a leap year, or the traditional banking custom of 360 days a year. For example, if you compound annually, every year your balance is multiplied by 1.05, so after 20 years you would have 500 x 1.0520, which is $1.326.65 to the nearest cent.
