No need to use a script, you can put the numbers directly into a financial calculator and use the TVM feature, or use the annuity formula directly (or annuity due if investing at the start of a period).

If you invest at the end of the period, daily is better, as more money will compound longer (vs waiting until the end of the month) If you invest at the beginning of the period, monthly is better (invest every at the beginning of the month)

Example with investing at end of period:

• invest $143 every day at 3% APR: value after a year: $52,983.60
• invest $4349.58 at the end of every month for 12 months, value after a year: $52,918.66

This is assuming you compound every day, as in practice, day count conventions may be different, and ignoring things such as the opportunity cost of the time spent time logging in to your bank to make daily transfers

Without starting to calculate, or looking at the code, I’d say it’s obvious that an investment strategy where all of a month’s contributions are made on the first day of the month will be superior to one where you spread them out. Also, an investment strategy of making the month’s contributions on the last day will be inferior to spreading them.

So it’d really depend on how you time your monthly investments. If you can invest as soon as you get your monthly income, that’s probably the most beneficial way to do it.

edit — Taking a quick look at your code, that’s exactly what’s happening. In each period, ChatGPT invests first, then lets interest accrue, whereas you let interest accrue, then invest.
