$10,000.00 at 4% APY (3.9223% APR) grows to $10,400.00 over 12 months, earning $400.00. Cashing out after 6 months returns $10,099.98 once the $98.06 penalty is taken.

Come si calcola S
  1. APR from the APY

    r=365[(1+0.04)1/365−1]=3.9223%r = 365\left[(1 + 0.04)^{1/365} - 1\right] = 3.9223\%
  2. Term in years

    t=1212=1t = \frac{12}{12} = 1

    Each month counts as 365 ÷ 12 days. Banks count the actual days, which can move daily-compounded interest by a few cents.

  3. Value at maturity

    A=10,000.00×(1+0.04)1=10,400.00A = 10{,}000.00 \times (1 + 0.04)^{1} = 10{,}400.00
  4. Interest earned

    10,400.00−10,000.00=400.0010{,}400.00 - 10{,}000.00 = 400.00
  5. Early withdrawal penalty

    10,000.00×0.03922282044×312=98.0610{,}000.00 \times 0.03922282044 \times \frac{3}{12} = 98.06

    Simple interest on the deposit at the APR for the penalty period.

  6. Cash-out value after 6 months

    10,000.00×(1+0.04)6/12−98.06=10,099.9810{,}000.00 \times (1 + 0.04)^{6/12} - 98.06 = 10{,}099.98
  7. When the penalty is covered

    m=12 ln⁡ ⁣(1+0.03922282044×3/12)ln⁡(1+0.04)=2.99 monthsm = 12\,\frac{\ln\!\left(1 + 0.03922282044 \times 3/12\right)}{\ln(1 + 0.04)} = 2.99\ \text{months}

Informazioni su CD calculator

A certificate of deposit pays a fixed rate for a fixed term. The value at maturity is the deposit times (1 + APR ÷ k) raised to k × years, where k is the number of compounding periods a year; entered as an APY, the same value is the deposit times (1 + APY) raised to the years. The calculator converts between the two rates and shows what breaking the CD early leaves you after a penalty of a set number of months of interest.

With the defaults, $10,000 in a 12-month CD at 4.00% APY compounded daily earns $400.00. That APY equals an APR of 3.9223%. Cashing out after 6 months with a 3-month penalty leaves $10,099.98, since the $98.06 penalty takes about half of the $198.04 earned by then.

The penalty is computed as simple interest on the deposit at the APR. Deposit agreements differ, and Regulation DD requires the bank to disclose how its penalty is calculated. Terms in months use 365 ÷ 12 days per month.

How is interest on a CD calculated?

Multiply the deposit by (1 + APR ÷ k) to the power k × years, where k is the compounding periods per year, and subtract the deposit. $10,000 at a 5% APR compounded yearly for 3 years grows to 10,000 × 1.05³ = $11,576.25, so the interest is $1,576.25. With the rate given as an APY, use (1 + APY) to the power of the years instead.

What is the difference between APY and APR on a CD?

The APR is the stated yearly rate before compounding; the APY includes compounding and shows what $100 earns in a year. A 5% APY compounded monthly is an APR of 4.8889%, and a 6% APR compounded daily is an APY of 6.1831%. Regulation DD (Truth in Savings) requires banks to disclose both, and the APY is the one to compare CDs on.

What is the penalty for withdrawing a CD early?

Whatever the deposit agreement says, usually a number of months or days of interest. The federal minimum is in Regulation D: money withdrawn within six days of deposit must lose at least seven days' simple interest. On $10,000 at a 3.9223% APR, a 3-month penalty is 10,000 × 0.039223 × 3 ÷ 12 = $98.06.

Can an early withdrawal penalty eat into the principal?

Yes, when the penalty is larger than the interest earned so far. On $10,000 at 4% APY, one month earns $32.74, but a 3-month penalty is $98.06, so cashing out returns $9,934.68 and you lose $65.32 of your deposit. With these terms the penalty is covered after about 3 months.

Are CDs FDIC insured?

Yes. The FDIC lists certificates of deposit among insured deposits, covered up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. Coverage is principal plus interest accrued through the date the bank fails, so a $245,000 deposit at 4% APY passes the limit after about 6.2 months.
