Estimate CD maturity value, interest earned, APY impact, after-tax return, and inflation-adjusted value based on your deposit amount, rate, term, and compounding frequency.
Starting deposit:
Your initial deposit grows for the full CD term based on the rate and compounding frequency selected.
Interest earned:
The calculator subtracts the original deposit from the maturity value.
After-tax value:
The tax rate entered is applied to the earned interest only, not the original deposit.
Inflation-adjusted value:
The maturity value is adjusted to show estimated buying power in today’s dollars.
A CD estimate helps compare deposit amounts, terms, and rates before locking money into a certificate of deposit. It is useful for short-term savings goals, low-risk cash planning, and comparing CD options with other savings tools.
This is a planning estimate and not a bank disclosure or guaranteed quote.
Your result shows estimated maturity value, interest earned, APY, after-tax maturity value, inflation-adjusted value, and a penalty-adjusted value if you enter an early withdrawal penalty.
A CD calculator estimates how much a certificate of deposit may be worth at maturity based on deposit amount, interest rate, compounding, and term.

Yes. Many CDs compound interest on a regular schedule such as daily, monthly, or quarterly, depending on the product.
No. This version only includes a penalty if you enter one manually for comparison purposes.
