This ANZ Bank Savings Account Calculator helps you estimate how much interest you'll earn on your savings with ANZ Bank. Simply enter your deposit amount, interest rate, and time period to see your potential growth.
How to Use This Calculator
Using this calculator is simple:
- Enter the amount you want to deposit in the "Initial Deposit" field.
- Select the interest rate you expect to earn (ANZ Bank's current rates are typically between 1.00% and 3.50%).
- Choose the time period for your savings (in years).
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated future value.
The calculator will display your total balance after the selected time period, showing both the principal and the interest earned.
Formula Used
The calculation uses the compound interest formula:
Future Value = Initial Deposit × (1 + Interest Rate) ^ Time Period
Where:
- Initial Deposit = The amount of money you start with
- Interest Rate = The annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- Time Period = The number of years the money will be invested
This formula assumes the interest is compounded annually. For more frequent compounding periods, the formula would adjust accordingly.
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit $5,000 into an ANZ Bank savings account with a 2.5% annual interest rate. Here's how the calculation works over 5 years:
Future Value = $5,000 × (1 + 0.025) ^ 5
Future Value = $5,000 × 1.1309
Future Value = $5,654.50
After 5 years, you would have approximately $5,654.50, with $654.50 being the interest earned.
Comparison Table
Here's how different deposit amounts and interest rates affect your savings growth over 5 years:
| Initial Deposit | Interest Rate | Future Value | Interest Earned |

| $1,000 | 2.0% | $1,104.08 | $104.08 |

| $10,000 | 3.0% | $11,592.74 | $1,592.74 |
