BDO Savings Account Interest Calculator helps you estimate how much interest you'll earn on your savings with BDO Bank. Simply input your deposit amount, interest rate, and time period to see your projected earnings.
How BDO Savings Account Interest Works
BDO Bank offers savings accounts with competitive interest rates. The interest you earn is calculated based on the principal amount, the interest rate, and the time period. The calculator uses the simple interest formula for projections.
Simple Interest Formula
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Total Amount = Principal + Interest
For more accurate projections, especially for longer periods, compound interest calculations are sometimes used. However, BDO's savings accounts typically use simple interest for deposits under certain amounts.
Note: Actual interest rates may vary based on your specific account type and BDO's current promotions. Always check with BDO Bank for the most current rates and terms.

- Input the annual interest rate offered by BDO Bank
- Select the time period for which you want to calculate the interest
- Click "Calculate" to see your projected earnings
- Review the results and chart showing your savings growth over time
The Formula Explained
The calculator uses the simple interest formula to project your earnings:
Simple Interest Formula
Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
Total Amount = Principal + Interest
Where:
- Principal = Initial deposit amount
- Rate = Annual interest rate (in decimal form)
- Time = Time period in years
The calculator converts the annual rate to a decimal by dividing by 100 before performing the calculation.
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit ₱50,000 in a BDO savings account with an annual interest rate of 3.5% for 2 years.
Calculation Steps
1. Convert rate to decimal: 3.5% = 0.035
2. Calculate interest: 50,000 × 0.035 × 2 = ₱3,500
3. Total amount: 50,000 + 3,500 = ₱53,500
After 2 years, you would have ₱53,500 in your account, earning ₱3,500 in interest.
