(CF).  
Standard Setting Body.
 
A number greater than one which we multiply a present value by, to work out its [[Future Value]] (FV) as:
 
FV = CF x present value.
 
 
The periodic Compounding Factor is calculated from the periodic yield as:
 
CF = ( 1 + periodic yield )<sup>n</sup>
 
Where:
 
n = number of periods
 
 
'''Example'''
 
Annual effective yield (r) = 6%.
 
Number of years in the total period (n) = 2.
 
Then:
 
Compounding Factor = ( 1 + r )<sup>n</sup>
 
= 1.06<sup>2</sup>
 
= 1.1236.
