how do you call the inverse of a discount factor?

[Ferdinando M. Ametrano-3]

Hi all

sorry for such a naif question, but what is the standard name (if any) of
the inverse 1/d of a discount factor d?

Accrued amount, accrued factor?

thank you

ciao -- Nando

in my opinion the name your looking for is: capitalising amount or capitalising factor.

the opposite of "discount" is "compound" so : compounding factor.
