Semiannually means occurring twice a year, typically at six-month intervals. For example, if an event is scheduled to happen semiannually, it might take place once in January and again in July. This term is often used in contexts such as financial reporting, interest payments, and company meetings.
Semiannually in compound interest refers to the process of compounding interest twice a year. This means that interest is calculated and added to the principal amount every six months. As a result, the total amount of interest earned over a year is higher compared to annual compounding, since interest is calculated on the previously accrued interest more frequently.
