Compounding describes how often the interest is added to the principal (the amount that is multiplied by the interest rate to determine the interest charged).
to make it easier to see i will use an extremely large annual interest rate of 365% and $1,000,000 principal.
if compounded every 4 days, after 4 days the new principal would be $1,040,000
but if compounded daily it adds 1% every day so first day would add $10,000 for $1,010,000 then the second day would add an additional $10,100 for $1,020,100 the 3rd day would add $10,201 totaling $1,030,301
the 4th day would add $10,303.01 total $1,040,604.01
so as you see in this simple example the daily compound gives more than 604 extra.
and while in reality the interest would be closer to 3.65% that would be $6 and 4 cents extra for the four days. (on a million dollar loan)

What is the interest on 1200 invested for 2 years in an account that earns 5 percent interest per year?
The answer, assuming compounding once per year and using generic monetary units (MUs), is MU123. In the first year, MU1,200 earning 5% generates MU60 of interest. The MU60 earned the first year is added to the original MU1,200, allowing us to earn interest on MU1,260 in the second year. MU1,260 earning 5% generates MU63. So, MU60 + MU63 is equal to MU123. The answers will be different assuming different compounding periods as follows: Compounding Period Two Years of Interest No compounding MU120.00 Yearly compounding MU123.00 Six-month compounding MU124.58 Quarterly compounding MU125.38 Monthly compounding MU125.93 Daily compounding MU126.20 Continuous compounding MU126.21
