Frequently asked questions
- What is APY?
- Annual percentage yield is the effective yearly rate after compounding is included, which is why banks advertise it. Enter it directly and the calculator handles the rest.
- What happens if I withdraw early?
- Most CDs charge an early-withdrawal penalty, often several months of interest. This calculator shows the value if you hold to maturity.
- Is a CD better than a savings account?
- A CD usually pays a higher rate in exchange for locking the money up for a set term. A savings account pays less but lets you withdraw any time. The right choice depends on when you need the cash.
