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:

i use cit for a high interest savings account and generally like them. one thing kinda pissed me off - rates were low for a while (~1%) then recently went up (currently 3.2%). instead of automatically giving you the better rate in your "savings builder" account, they created a nearly identical product called "savings connect" that go the new rate, requiring people to take action to get the better rate in an obvious money grab. they definitely didn't pull that shit when rates went down...

People need to remember, these rates are in APY, not rate of return at maturity.

Ex. 100 dollars going into a 4% APY 4 week bill would not yield you $~4.00, but closer to ~35cents at maturity.

Go open up an account at Fidelity and buy T-bills. You'll get a better rate and you don't need to pay state / local tax.

No, it's best to look at their current performance and decide based on that whether it's worth it for your personal financial situation while understanding that anyone who thinks they can predict future rates/performance is full of crap.

I think it might be beneficial to make the minimum payment on my 2% mortgage and use the money I'd spend on this. 😄

How do you move to that "savings connect"? Open a new account, move the money and close the old one? Or is there a way to simply change it?

If you have a fidelity or a merrilledge account, you can buy 12 month CD for 4.7% from their marketplace issued by different banks.

I don't have crystal balls, but much better understanding when it comes to an investment. If all I want to lock down my money for 13 months to get 4.15% interest, then I would much better lock down my money for 12 months to get 4.7% Interest through Fidelity any day. Shorter the term and better the interest. Hope this helps.
