How it works
The calculator multiplies your amount by the number of deposits in each span: 365 days in a year, 52 weeks, 26 two-week paydays, 24 twice-a-month paydays or 12 months. Shorter spans use the same share of a year, so one month of daily deposits is 30 days. No interest is added.
The daily part is the hard part
$5 is easy to set aside once. Doing it 365 times, and leaving it alone, is what gets you to $1,825. Moving it on payday instead, about $70 every two weeks, gets to the same total with fewer chances to skip.
