You can use above example to plug in your real tax bracket percentages to get your own number. It's a bit difficult to show the calculation of interest on here but you can find interest calculator on web.

an alternative is to buy bills/notes directly w/ treasury. few bps lower but eliminates risk of lending to financial institution since govt can just print money for you.

That being said, if you're investing up to $10,000, the US Treasury iBond is an improvement on this rate, even with the early withdraw penalty of 3 months interest...as long as the next 6 month rate is higher than 4 % or so.

Exactly. Feb maturity tbills are the best place at the moment
The rules have been replaced multiple times under multiple administrations.
And no, fractional reserve banking does not mean that they can dip into your savings to save themselves, if means they can lend x% of whatever deposits they have on hand. So while this practice may be risky (especially for smaller banks), that is why we have FDIC insurance to begin with.
Strictly FYI. Credit Union's are insured for similar limits (250k) via the NCUA (National Credit Union Association) as opposed to the FDIC.
To recap for best rates:
1) Buy 10K in iBonds (I'm told you can do 10K electronically and an addiitonal 10K in paper bonds)
2) Money above that 10K into the 22 month cd paying 5%. I have a 4% 4 year cd maturing in 2 days so timing on this info was great.
3) Buy 10k more in January of iBonds.
