How to use this calculator
Enter your deposit balance, the alternative savings APY, the bank bonus, estimated tax rate, fees and holding period. The result compares bonus net value against the interest you might earn by leaving the money in a high-yield savings account.
How to avoid mistakes
Do not chase a bonus if the account has fees you cannot waive, direct-deposit rules you cannot satisfy, or a long lockup that beats the bonus with ordinary savings interest. Keep official terms before opening.
