Most banks either compund mothly or yearly. Find that out, and check the terms and conditions to see whether they use average daily balance (rare but good) or if they don't compund if you withdraw money (too common). If everything is going to compund, you multiply your balance by your % APY, which depends on the account and your bank. The number you get is the interest yield for the month or year!

The math explanation...

The equation: P=C(1+r/n)^nt where P is what youwill end up with, C is the initial investment, r is your % APY, n stands for how many times it compunds each year, and t stands for time in years

Example: 0.05% APY, balance = $10,000, compounded monthly

In one year, the equation is P=10000 (1+0.05/12)^12 = $10511.62
