What is APY?

APY (Annual Percentage Yield) represents the real rate of return earned on an investment, taking into account the effect of compounding interest. It provides a standardized way to compare the annual returns of different investments that may compound at different frequencies.

Unlike simple interest rates, APY shows you the actual percentage your money will grow by over one year, including the compounding effect. The more frequently your interest compounds, the higher your APY will be compared to the stated interest rate.
