The Compare CD Rates Calculator is a free, embeddable calculator from CalcFunnel. See how even a small difference in CD interest rates adds up over the full term.
You enter 5 inputs: deposit amount, term (years), compounding, rate A (%) and rate B (%).
It returns extra earnings (Higher rate), balance at rate A, balance at rate B, interest at rate A and interest at rate B.
Built for banks, credit unions and advisors. Embedding it on your own website needs the Pro plan (from $150/month, with a 14-day free trial), which unlocks the Savings & CDs category.
The first figure — extra earnings (higher rate) — is the headline result.
