The math

Why a few percentage points change everything

On a $25,000 balance, the difference between a 0.01% big-bank account and a 4.10% high-yield account is $1,025 per year — and over $12,000 across a decade with compounding.

That's not magic. It's the same money, the same FDIC protection, sitting in a different account.

Calculator FAQ

Common questions

How accurate is this calculator?

We use the same APYs published by our top-rated FDIC-insured banks, refreshed every business day. Your actual return will match the bank's posted rate at the time you open the account.

Is the interest compounded?

Yes. We model daily compounding and monthly crediting — the standard for U.S. high-yield savings accounts.

Will my rate change over time?

APYs are variable and may change with the Federal Reserve. The calculator shows projections at today's rates, which are still 10–20× higher than what most big banks pay.

Are these accounts safe?

Every bank we list is FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor. Your money is just as safe as it is at any traditional bank.
