Formula Used
The calculation is based on compound interest, which is calculated using the following formula:
A = P × (1 + r/n)nt
Where:
- A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit amount)
- r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years
For Marcus High Yield Savings Account, we assume interest is compounded daily (n = 365).
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit $1,000 in the Marcus High Yield Savings Account for 12 months with an APY of 4.20%.
Using the formula:
A = 1000 × (1 + 0.0420/365)365×1
A ≈ 1000 × (1.00011504)365
A ≈ 1000 × 1.0429
A ≈ $1,042.90
After one year, you would earn approximately $42.90 in interest, bringing your total balance to $1,042.90.
