Defined Interest Calculations

You can choose the Defined option to calculate interest annually with daily compounding, using a year with 366 days. In order to use a year with 365 days (366 days for a leap year), add two days to the start date and one day to the end date. For example, to accrue for every day for two full years (1/1/2013 through 12/31/2014), input a start date of 12/30/2012 and an end date of 1/1/2015.
