My pocket scientific calculator says: ((1 + 0.01) ^ 3652 - 1) * 100% ~= (6.0486630488×10^17)%. That's (6 followed by 17 zeroes)%. In words, that's over 600 quadrillion percent, or 0.6 quintillion percent if you use short scale; in long scale, that's 600 thousand billion, 600 billiard, or 0.6 trillion.
At this scale, you're better off forgetting percent altogether. Instead of 3678% from the previous calculation, you might want 36.78x (100% is the same as 1x, and this carries). So 6.0486630488×10^15, which is 6 quadrillion times in short scale (6 thousand billion or 6 billiard in the long scale). To help give you a sense of scale, light in a vacuum travels at approximately 300 thousand kilometers per second; to travel ~6×10^15 meters, light takes about 8 months. The SI prefix for 10^15 is peta- (you may have heard of it via e.g. petabytes).
The long and short of it is: it's a very big number.
And here i was thinking it might work out more like Xeno's paradox, where if you complete 1% of you remaining goal every day for a year you';; have roughly 97.4% of the goal completed in a year
(⌐■_■) Masterplan!

Kittens!

probably a little bit more than 365% if it is compounding day over day :P

About 10x as much! ((1 + 0.01) ^ 365 - 1) * 100% = 3678%
How much a percentage can compound over time can be scary, right? :o

Then what if you did that for a decade O.O

Supposing 2 leap years:

hmmm maybe this is how one punch man became himself. Just get better by 1% of current 100% and bang

I like that theory! :D
