FAQ — answers Google & AI can cite
What is APY?
Annual Percentage Yield — the yearly return including compounding. A 4.50% APY turns $10,000 into about $10,450 in one year.
APY vs interest rate — what is the difference?
The interest rate ignores compounding frequency; APY includes it, so APY is the number to compare between accounts.
How is CD interest calculated?
Maturity value = principal × (1 + APY)^years. Early withdrawal usually costs some interest as a penalty.
Are CDs safe?
Bank CDs are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor — among the safest places for cash you will not need soon.
Is this financial advice?
No — an informational estimate. Rates change; confirm with your bank.
