The usual formula can be used when all the interest rate for the months are the same. This example is a little tricky. I tabulated all the data into Excel and the annualised interest rate I got was 1.578%.

Initial principal is $70,000
Assuming interest is given at end of month or principal was deposited at end of month 0

Should I put money into the MSA since it has better interest rate as compare to the 'normal' savings account?

Should I put my money in a retirement plan that will guarantee 3k monthly retirement income from age 65 + variable bonus (effective interest rate of 4+%)?

Would you suggest someone who is self-employed to put their savings with Singlife Account, since they provide the interest of 2.5% p.a. for the first 10k and 1% p.a. for the next 90k?

Any self employed that applied for a secured CC in the first 2 yrs of your venture? Which CC are you using? Given the interest rates climate; Is it worth it to put up a 10k collateral for e benefits?
