Calculation Methodology

Daily Interest = (CD Principal * APY% / 100) / 365. Penalty Amount = Daily Interest * Penalty Days (e.g. 90 or 180 days). Net Interest = Gross Accrued Interest - Penalty.

Important Legal & Educational Disclaimer

If a CD is redeemed before enough interest has been earned to cover the penalty, the penalty will be deducted from your principal deposit.
