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
UFB Direct is paying 5.02 percent for a savings account. There's no need to lock up your money with a CD

Only problem is the FDIC is essentially bankrupt. They have about $24B to cover over $100B in liabilities. Ticking timebomb.

Can you provide a link, please? As far as I know, they reduced it to 4.81% a few weeks back. Did they increase it? Their website still shows it as 4.81%

Not sure why everyone is so excited? Citizens Access offers 4.5 APY Savings and no need to lock down your funds for 13 months: https://www.secure.citizensaccess...ns/savings [citizensaccess.com]

Or if you prefer, 5% APY CD for 1-year term: https://www.secure.citizensaccess...posit.page [citizensaccess.com]
I am not a customer of CIT Bank or Citizens Bank. I think many of them are excited as CIT offer is better than Citizens.

CIT offers 4.85% APY for a savings account. if your balance is >=$5k which is .35% higher than Citizens. https://www.cit.com/cit-bank/bank...gs-account

CIT offers 4.6% APY for a savings account. if your balance is >=$100 which is .1% higher than Citizens. https://www.cit.com/cit-bank/bank...ct-account

CIT offers 49% APY for 13 months of "No-Penalty" CD. This is a lot better than locking your money for 12 months and getting a .1% higher return for many folks. https://www.cit.com/cit-bank/bank...penalty-cd

Do you mind sharing the reason for suggesting Citizens? As I said earlier I don't have an account at both, so I might be missing some benefits here. I am thinking about opening an account with CIT, so wanted to find your point of view so that it can help me.

I prefer:

New issue t-bills. Plainly marked by 13-week, 4 month, etc. Auction date and settlement date plainly shown too.

Opened a UFB account. Their site is trash. Constant issues logging in to the point where I gave up. 4.85% with CIT savings and their site actually works, I can log in, and in general it looks way less sketchy that UFB.

UFB Direct is a scam!

You can easily transfer your money in, but no easy way to get your money out.
They will put a $3000 transfer limit for external transfer out if you are "new".
Even their normal transfer limit is: 150K per day.

It's been over a week now and with multiple secure message and phone call, still can't get rid of the transfer limit. They will do everything to deny your request to increase the limit.

Because that poster is 98 years old and he is probably talking about the old limit from when he was in kindergarten. 😂
Being pedantic- for a 98 year old in kindergarten, there was no FDIC yet. So no insurance at all, it must have been scary days. I bet the mattress bank was very popular laugh out loud

Yeah... screw UFB. That bank sucks. I ran into all sorts of issues when i created an account there. They messed up my account and put one of my beneficiaries as a joint owner, and then i was never able to get in touch with a person to actually change it. I let my phone sit on hold with them one day for 3.5 hours in the background while i was at work just to see if anyone would eventually pick up and nobody ever did, then it disconnected. I called them every day for 2 weeks and never got a person.

I would not trust putting a lot of money into that bank, especially if you need to get it out in any sort of timely fashion. You'd be better off putting it in a 90 day CD at another bank to get the same rate, since it will be locked up for most of that time either way.

I'm getting %4.65 on uninvested cash at Robinhood. Money isn't locked. I think it's only for their $5 a month gold members though. But if you already have an account there, it seems like a good option. Also, FDIC insured for $1.5mil. How? They work with multiple banks and deposit up to 248k of your money in each. Had to read the fine print for this.

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

Does FDIC cover the interest earned or just face value of cd if it hasn't matured yet?

I'm getting 4.85 from them in my savings account that I can withdraw at any time. Why would anyone get this if they can get higher in a savings account where you can access the money at any time?
