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 just put a lot of money into this and the friend who referred me has the max of $1 million in his account. I went through the FAQ with a fine tooth comb. FDIC insured and no maintenance fees.

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.

Schwab can buy 1 yr CD for 4.8%

Guys, I have the CIT bank saving builder (signed subsequent to a SD a while back) and move $300 bucks in there every month. I have about 14,700 on the account now and the interest rate is only 1% (it was more when I signed on a few years back.
Should I just close the account and move it to a better earned interest account? I am not a risk taker (never done stock and the alike and my TIAA CREF retirement is traditional). I have been waiting for a real estate bubble to burst to invest in properties and flip them. Have about 200K on hand and 1 million property for collateral if needed. No debt and credit score in the 830 or more depending on hard credit pull to get reward CC.
Thanks!

Savings Builder was the new product CIT Bank introduced years ago paying the highest interest rate. I guess they counted on people not keeping track of interest rate change to make money in the long run. I have open their Money Market account and recently Savings Connect to transfer my savings within CIT Bank to whichever account earns the highest interest rate. I ended up closing the old Savings Builder account. Just apply for the new Savings Connect account (currently 3.25%), transfer all of your fund over from Savings Builder, wait 1 more month until your next monthly interest rate is posted to your account then transfer the rest before closing it. It is very easy to open a new account since you already have a CIT bank login and they already have all of your info.

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.
Have you done this with merrilledge? Is there extra fee? ME site is terrible, can't even buy US t bills on it.

Yes I have done it with ME ask well. No fee for CDs or treasuries. I buy one year CD and treasuries. I agree that ME is not good but still you can use them for this purpose. The problem with CDs sold by fidelit
y or ME is that they have a start date which is usually one week from you buy it which is ok for me.

I really hate the treasurydirect site, feels like I traveled back in time. Is it possible to buy new issue t-bills directly through some stock brokers? Which ones? I have TDAmeritrade and Merrill Edge.

Buying T-Bills through a Broker
For clients of large firms like Fidelity, Vanguard, and Charles Schwab, placing an order through your broker may be easier than opening a separate TreasuryDirect account. These firms charge no fees for T-bills.

You bought both online or over the phone? I didn't see t-bills online. I read that ME charges $30 to buy t-bills over the phone? Is there any advantage/disadvantage to buying t-bills from ME versus direct through treasurydirect?
