Formula Used
The Marcus Account Calculator uses the compound interest formula to calculate your account balance:
Compound Interest Formula
A = P × (1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
- A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
- P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
- r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
- n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
- t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for, in years
For Marcus accounts, we use the following assumptions:
- High Yield Savings: 4.50% APY compounded daily
- Money Market: 4.30% APY compounded daily
Worked Example
Let's say you deposit $5,000 into a Marcus High Yield Savings account and leave it there for 5 years. Here's how the calculation works:
Example Calculation
Initial Deposit (P) = $5,000
Annual Interest Rate (r) = 4.50% or 0.045
Compounding Frequency (n) = 365 (daily)
Time (t) = 5 years
Future Value (A) = 5000 × (1 + 0.045/365)^(365×5)
A ≈ $5,237.50
Interest Earned = $5,237.50 - $5,000 = $237.50
After 5 years, your $5,000 deposit would grow to approximately $5,237.50, earning you $237.50 in interest.
