How Much Can Your Savings Earn with Interest?

Did you know you can let your money work for you? One of the many benefits of putting your hard-earned money in a bank is that it can grow and earn through interest rates. But how does interest rate work? To put it simply, a bank pays you with interest rate when you deposit your money in your savings account with that bank so your money can grow. In traditional banks, your savings can typically grow as low as 0.01% and as high as 1%. In contrast, the interest rates in all-digital banking platforms are usually higher. 

How much can you earn with your savings in a bank account per month?

In order to compute how much your savings will earn with interest, use this equation:

 

Net Interest Earned = [Average Daily Balance x No. of days in a month / 360] x Interest Rate P.A. x [1 - Withholding tax (20%)]

Your Average Daily Balance (ADB) is calculated by summing up all your balances at the end of each day for each qualifying month, and dividing it by the total number of days in the qualifying month.

If your ADB in your CIMB Bank UpSave account is PHP 100,000 for the month of January, this is how you compute your interest earned. 

Net Interest Earned

 

= [PHP 100,000 x 31/360] x 0.025 x [0.80]

 

= 172.20

 

You will earn PHP 172.20 for the month of January just by putting your money in an UpSave account.
