How to Use a CD Calculator
With our CD Calculator, you can calculate how much interest a CD would pay. Just enter:
CD Rate
Leng of Term
Compound frequency
Investment amount
The CD calculator also can be used to compare CDs with different terms and interest rates, to see which may yield the highest returns. You can also use it to compare the amount of interest a CD earns with other investments such as stocks, bonds, annuities, real estate, and mutual funds.
To find out how much interest you earn after taxes you only need to enter one additional piece of information, your marginal tax rate. Finally, our CD calculator will tell you the inflation-adjusted value of your investment if you enter an assumed inflation rate.
