how can i calculate % growth per nr. of times? for example, i have 100$ and it grows 1% or 5 days.
Umm 
12% pa calculated yearly is nominally 1% per month BUT if you are talking real rather than nominal rates then
$$\\(1.12)=(1+r)^{12}\\\\
(1.12)^{1/12} = 1+r\\\\
(1.12)^{1/12}-1 = r\\\\$$
$${{\mathtt{1.12}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{12}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{1}} = {\mathtt{0.009\: \!488\: \!792\: \!934\: \!583}}$$
So 12% compounded annually is equal to approx 0.95 % compounded monthly.
Maybe that helps answer your question. I am not really sure what you are asking :/
