The interest to be earned for $20k for this CD is approx. $920. Then you will need to deduct federal and state taxes from $920. Tax amounts depend on your tax brackets. For simplicity, let's use 25% for federal and 9% for state. So your final earned interest will be:


$920 - ($920 x (25% + 9%)) = $607.2

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.
I think by February-March next year we may see peak in interest rates being offered by banks. I would not advise to lock money for long term yet.
I don't have a dog in the race here but out of curiosity I checked the website at the OP's link:

Big fan of CIT. Ease of navigating site and conducting transactions on CDs. But SkyOne FCU via SaveBetter has a 22 month CD at 5.00% APY as of today

Not saying thats a bad rate, but you're not comparing apples to apples. 22 months is pretty different from 13 months.

Quote from xxx000xxx :
risk here is the bank/financial institution itself... if something goes wrong you'll lose money lent to them and insured up to $100K only...

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.
why insured only upto 100k?

CIT is FDIC insured. $250K individual or $500K for joint.

I believe they are referencing the pre-2008 information. Currently, CD's are covered up to 250,000 per institution per depositor per category.

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.

Quote from WiseField749 :
I don't know what bellosrt is talking about, but if they are referring to fractional reserve banking, then it is a bipartisan issue.
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.
Oh I know, I didn't expect to see misinformation on SD. I feel like people were more informed on this site in the past.

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.

I bonds are 10k per year cap on electronic and 5k paper which in my understanding have to be purchased with an irs refund
