💡 About CDs

Certificate of Deposit (CD): A time deposit with a fixed interest rate and maturity date. CDs typically offer higher rates than savings accounts in exchange for locking up your money.

CD Laddering: A strategy where you divide your money across multiple CDs with different maturity dates (e.g., 1-yr, 2-yr, 3-yr, 4-yr, 5-yr). As each CD matures, you can reinvest at current rates or access the funds. This provides both higher average returns and liquidity.

Inflation Impact: While CDs are safe, inflation can erode real returns. This calculator shows both nominal and inflation-adjusted values. When inflation exceeds your APY, you're losing purchasing power!

Early Withdrawal: Most CDs penalize early withdrawal, typically 3-6 months of interest.
