Formula Used

The Bank of America Saving Account Calculator uses the compound interest formula to calculate your future savings balance:

FV = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) + PMT * (((1 + r/n)^(nt) - 1) / (r/n)) Where: FV = Future Value P = Initial Deposit PMT = Monthly Contribution r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal) n = Compounding Frequency per Year t = Time Period (in years)

This formula accounts for both your initial deposit and regular monthly contributions, compounded at the selected frequency.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a Bank of America savings account with the following details:

Initial Deposit: $1,000
Monthly Contribution: $200
Annual Interest Rate: 3%
Compounding Frequency: Monthly
Time Period: 5 years

Using the formula:

FV = 1000(1 + 0.03/12)^(12*5) + 200 * (((1 + 0.03/12)^(12*5) - 1) / (0.03/12)) FV ≈ $2,338.24 Total Interest Earned ≈ $338.24

After 5 years, your savings account would grow to approximately $2,338.24, with $338.24 earned in interest.
