COMPOUND INTEREST
Compounded Calculation Interest Rate For One Period
Semiannually, every 6 months, every half of a year (.06)/2 0.03
Annually, every year .06 .06
6% means 6 percent (from Medieval Latin for per centum, meaning "among 100"). 6% means 6 among 100, thus 6/100 as a fraction and .06 as a decimal
