Apple Card Savings is a high-yield savings account offered by Apple that pays interest on your deposits. This calculator helps you determine how much interest you'll earn based on your balance and the current interest rate.
How Apple Card Savings Interest Works
Apple Card Savings offers competitive interest rates on your savings balance. The interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. Here's how it works:
Interest Calculation
The interest is calculated using the formula:
Interest = (Balance × Daily Interest Rate × Days in Period) / 365
Where:
- Balance - The amount of money in your Apple Card Savings account
- Daily Interest Rate - The annual interest rate divided by 365
- Days in Period - The number of days in the calculation period (typically 30 for monthly)
Interest Payout
Interest is paid monthly and added to your savings balance. The interest rate is variable and changes based on market conditions.
Minimum Balance Requirement
Apple Card Savings requires a minimum balance of $1 to earn interest. Balances below this amount will not earn interest.
How to Calculate Apple Card Savings Interest
Calculating your Apple Card Savings interest is straightforward. You'll need:
- Your current savings balance
- The current interest rate (check Apple's website for the latest rate)
- The number of days in the period you want to calculate (typically 30 for monthly)
Using our calculator, simply enter these values and click "Calculate" to see your estimated interest earnings.
Assumptions
This calculator uses the following assumptions:
- Interest is calculated daily and compounded monthly
- The interest rate is fixed for the calculation period
- No additional deposits or withdrawals during the period
Example Calculation
Let's say you have $5,000 in your Apple Card Savings account and the current interest rate is 4.5%. Here's how to calculate your monthly interest:
Daily Interest Rate = 4.5% ÷ 365 ≈ 0.012329%
Interest = ($5,000 × 0.012329 × 30) ÷ 365 ≈ $1.64
So, you would earn approximately $1.64 in interest for that month.

| Balance | Interest Rate | Monthly Interest |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | 4.5% | $0.61 |
| $5,000 | 4.5% | $1.64 |
| $10,000 | 4.5% | $3.28 |
