What is a Savings Account?

A savings account is an interest-bearing deposit account held at a bank or other financial institution. Unlike a checking account, which is for daily spending, a savings account is designed to store money you don't need immediately.

In the U.S., most savings accounts are insured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) up to $250,000, making them one of the safest places to grow your money. Our calculator helps you project how this safe money grows over time with regular deposits.

What is the 50/30/20 Rule?

What is an Emergency Fund?

Before saving for a vacation or a new car, financial experts recommend building an Emergency Fund. This is a safety net designed to cover unexpected expenses like medical bills or sudden unemployment.

General Rule: Aim to save 3 to 6 months of living expenses. Use the calculator to see how long it will take you to reach this safety milestone based on your monthly deposit.

What are the Different Types of Savings Accounts?

Not all savings accounts are created equal. The interest rate (APY) you enter in the calculator depends on which type of account you choose:

Traditional Savings

Offered by big banks with physical branches. Convenient, but usually offers very low interest rates.

High-Yield Savings (HYSA)

Typically offered by online banks. They save on overhead costs and pass the savings to you, often offering rates 10x higher than traditional banks.

Money Market Accounts (MMA)

A hybrid account that may offer debit card access or check-writing privileges, often with higher interest rates for larger balances.
