How it is calculated

Each month the balance grows by the monthly equivalent of the APY, (1 + APY)1/12 − 1, and then your deposit is added at the end of the month.

Questions

Is a savings account or a CD better?

A CD locks a rate for a term; a savings account rate can change at any time but your money stays available. Compare the CD rate with what the savings rate is likely to be over the same term.
