Why do people save and how is interest calculated on money saved?

In the simplest of words, $1,000 at 1% interest per year would yield $1,010 at the end of the year. But that is simple interest, paid only on the principal. Money in savings accounts will earn compound interest, where the interest is calculated based on the principal and all accumulated interest.

Benjamin Franklin provided an example of the power of compounding—dubbed snowballing—where $4,500 left to each of two American cities outperformed the rate of inflation over 200 years.

So in the case of savings accounts, interest is compounded, either daily, monthly, or quarterly, and you earn interest on the interest earned up to that point. The more frequently interest is added to your balance, the faster your savings will grow. So with daily compounding, every day the amount that earns interest grows by another 1/365th of 1%. At the end of the year, the deposit has grown to $1,010.05.

People save money so they get buy things for themselves they also save money so they could get what they want. Multiply the principal amount by the number of days expressed in years. Divide the product into the amount of accumulated interest. For example, say your principal is $1,000, the number of days is 180 (one-half year), and the accumulated interest is $15.
