Understanding APY

What is APY?

Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is the real rate of return earned on your savings account over a year, taking into account the effect of compounding interest. The higher the APY, the more your money grows.

Why APY Matters

Even small differences in APY can significantly impact your earnings over time. A 4.5% APY versus 0.01% APY means earning $450 versus $1 on a $10,000 deposit annually.

Maximizing Your APY

Pro Tips

  • Online banks typically offer higher APYs than traditional banks
  • APY rates can change, so monitor your account regularly
  • Consider accounts with no minimum balance requirements
  • Avoid accounts with monthly fees that eat into your earnings
