High-Yield Savings (HYSA) Calculator
Estimate how your balance can grow in a high-yield savings account (HYSA) using compound interest. Start with core inputs (balance, APY, timeline, contributions), then optionally add advanced assumptions like rate schedules, withdrawals, and comparisons. Results are nominal (taxes and inflation are not modeled).

Assumptions
- Compounding: monthly (APY interpreted as effective annual yield for that cadence).
- Deposits and withdrawals are applied after the compound event on compound days; daily mode compounds every day.
- Weekly/biweekly cadence is anchored to the start date (every 7 or 14 days).
- Nominal balances only—taxes and inflation are not modeled.
