Thinking about moving your cash to a different bank account with a higher interest rate? Each month, I research the high interest rates available on cash. Big banks and corporates earn billions of dollars on your idle cash when it earns you nothing.

For example, you might have $10,000 in a savings account earning 3.00% APY and you want to know if it’s worth moving to one earning 4.00% APY. Use this handy calculator to find out how much more money you could earn by switching, which you then can weigh against the time and effort required.

My Money Blog Ultimate Rate Chaser Calculator

How much money are you going to move? (no commas) $ Enter the current interest rate (APY):   % Enter the new interest rate (APY):   % How many days of lost interest will you have? (Usually 0-3 business days)   day(s) The approximate number of days you must keep your money at the new rate to break even money-wise is:   days Assuming the rate difference remains the same,
in 1 month you’ll have earned an extra (estimated):    After 6 months, you’ll have earned an extra (estimated):   

Notes

1. This calculator is based on a rate-chasing breakeven time formula developed here a long, long, long time ago (2006!) which takes into account the “days of lost interest”, or the time in between transfers where the money is not earning interest in either account.
2. The formula actually uses APR, not APY. APY takes into account compounding frequency. The overwhelming majority of online savings accounts compound interest daily. I also made a APY to APR calculator. Nowadays, I just assume daily compounding so that you can just input the APY instead of having to convert. A small minority of savings accounts do compound monthly, but most of those are the megabanks paying you 0.01% APY anyway.
3. Usually, there can be between 0-3 days of lost interest when going from one bank to another. This depends on the policies of either bank and also which bank initiates the transfer. (It also may depend on if you straddle a weekend with the money earning no interest.) This value can significantly affect the break-even time when the difference is small.
4. The 6-month value (182 days) isn’t simply 6 times the 1-month value (30 days), as the calculator takes into account the time needed first to “break-even”.
5. Another factor to consider is how likely the current rate difference will persist. Interest rates on savings accounts can change at any time, whereas certificates offer a fixed rate over the guaranteed period.
