This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. This script calculates the future value of a one-time, single amount investment, typically a certificate of deposit or CD. Enter the dollar amount invested using just numbers and the decimal. Next, enter the published interest rate you expect to earn on that investment. Finally, enter the number of months. Click on the Calculate button and the yield and interest will be returned. You may click on Clear Values to do another calculation. This calculation assumes compounding quarterly, as are the vast majority of CDs, but it is prudent to ask where you are contemplating investing.
