Marcus Savings Account Calculator

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Use our Marcus Savings Account Calculator to estimate your potential earnings from Marcus by Goldman Sachs savings accounts. This calculator helps you project how much interest you could earn over time based on your deposit amount, interest rate, and account term.

How the Marcus Savings Account Calculator Works

The Marcus Savings Account Calculator uses compound interest formulas to estimate your account growth. The key inputs are:

  • Initial deposit amount
  • Annual interest rate (APY)
  • Account term in months

Formula used:

A = P × (1 + r/n)nt

Where:

  • A = Final amount
  • P = Principal (initial deposit)
  • r = Annual interest rate (in decimal)
  • n = Number of times interest is compounded per year (365 for daily)
  • t = Time in years

The calculator assumes daily compounding, which is typical for savings accounts. It also accounts for the fact that Marcus may adjust interest rates periodically, so the actual earnings may vary slightly from the estimate.

How to Use the Marcus Savings Account Calculator

  1. Enter your initial deposit amount in the "Initial Deposit" field.
  2. Input the current annual percentage yield (APY) offered by Marcus in the "Annual Interest Rate" field.
  3. Specify the account term in months in the "Account Term" field.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated account balance.
  5. Review the results and adjust inputs as needed.

Note: This calculator provides an estimate. Actual earnings may vary based on Marcus's specific terms and conditions, which can change without notice.

Example Calculation

Let's say you deposit $5,000 in a Marcus Savings Account with a 4.5% APY for 24 months (2 years).

Input Value
Initial Deposit $5,000
Annual Interest Rate 4.5%
Account Term 24 months

Using the formula:

A = 5000 × (1 + 0.045/365)365×2

The calculator would estimate your account balance at approximately $5,225.50 after 2 years.
