How Interest is Calculated

The interest on your Apple High Yield Savings Account is typically calculated using the simple interest formula:

Simple Interest Formula

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Where:

Principal = Initial deposit amount
Rate = Annual interest rate (in decimal form)
Time = Number of years the money is deposited

For accounts that compound interest, the formula becomes:

Compound Interest Formula

Amount = Principal × (1 + Rate/Compounding Periods)^(Compounding Periods × Time)

Where:

Compounding Periods = Number of times interest is compounded per year

Note

Apple High Yield Savings Accounts may use either simple or compound interest, depending on the specific terms offered by Apple. Check your account agreement for the exact calculation method used.
