The calculator uses the standard compound interest formula to estimate your earnings. You can adjust the inputs to see how different amounts and terms affect your potential returns.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following compound interest formula to estimate your earnings:

A = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt) Where: A = Final amount P = Principal amount (initial deposit) r = Annual interest rate (APY) n = Number of times interest is compounded per year t = Time the money is invested for in years

For the Capital One 360 Savings Account, we assume interest is compounded monthly (n = 12). The calculator also accounts for the monthly maintenance fee of $3.50, which is subtracted from your balance each month.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the potential earnings for a $5,000 deposit with a 3-year term at 3.50% APY:

  1. Initial deposit: $5,000
  2. Term: 3 years
  3. APY: 3.50%

Using the formula:

A = 5000 × (1 + 0.035/12)^(12×3) A = 5000 × (1 + 0.0029167)^36 A = 5000 × 1.1125 A ≈ $5,562.50

After accounting for the monthly $3.50 fee (36 months × $3.50 = $126), your final balance would be approximately $5,436.50.

Comparison Table

Here's how different deposit amounts and terms compare with a 3.50% APY:

Initial Deposit Term (Years) Estimated Balance Interest Earned
$1,000 1 $1,038.25 $38.25
$1,000 3 $1,112.50 $112.50

$5,000 3 $5,562.50 $562.50
$10,000 1 $10,382.50 $382.50
$10,000 3 $11,125.00 $1,125.00
