Doesn't APR stand for Annual Percentage Rate? take APR divide by 12 you get ~.35% time that to 1000 and you get something like $3.50 for month 1 then in Month 2 your time $1003.50 by ~.35% and so on and it gets a little over $42.

then again I guess the APY and APR are two different things so you could be correct
