1. What Is The CD Interest Formula?

The CD interest formula calculates the future value of a certificate of deposit investment based on compound interest. It helps investors understand how their money will grow over time with Union Savings Bank's CD products.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound interest formula:

\[ A = P \times (1 + r/n)^{n \times t} \]

Where:

\( A \) — Future value of the investment
\( P \) — Principal amount (initial investment)
\( r \) — Annual interest rate (in decimal form)
\( n \) — Number of compounding periods per year
\( t \) — Time the money is invested for (in years)

Explanation: The formula calculates how your initial investment grows with compound interest, accounting for how frequently the interest is compounded throughout the year.
