How this calculator works
- Deposits are made at the start of each period and interest compounds at the deposit frequency.
- The interest rate stays the same. Account fees and tax on interest are not included.
Results are general estimates only and are not credit, tax or financial advice. They do not take your objectives, financial situation or needs into account. Check the figures with a licensed professional before making a decision.
