What is APY?
Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is the effective annual rate of return taking into account the effect of compounding interest.
How is APY calculated?
APY = (1 + r/n)^n - 1, where r is the nominal rate and n is the number of compounding periods per year.
What's the difference between APR and APY?
APR is the simple interest rate. APY accounts for compounding, so it's always equal to or higher than APR.
