Frequently Asked Questions
A CD is a savings product offered by banks that pays a fixed interest rate for a specified term. Funds are locked in until maturity, and early withdrawal may incur penalties.
CD interest is typically calculated using the compound interest formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the time in years.
Compounding frequency refers to how often interest is added to the principal. More frequent compounding (e.g., daily) results in higher returns compared to less frequent compounding (e.g., annually).
