How do you calculate exactly how much savings interest you will receive?

I have deposited $5000 into my SCB Jumpstart account on 19 Nov. According to my calculations I should have gotten $8.33 for interest on 30 Nov but I only received $3.29. Does the date that I deposited on affect my interest? If yes, how should I calculate so that I can get the 3.29?

Hi anon!

The date of deposit definitely does affect the amount of interest you'll get as the JumpStart account calculates interest on a daily basis but credits it at the end of the month.

So in your case, no interest was earned from 1 Nov - 18 Nov since you have yet to deposit anything.

Your daily interest would have been (2% x $5,000)/365 = $0.2739, given that your deposit was done on 19 Nov, you accumulated 12 days of interest, $0.2739 x 12 = $3.286, aka. $3.29.

Hope this helps!

In this low interest climate. Is SAYE a good savings account option to lose 'liquidity' for the 2% interest? I'm curious why it's not being brought up much in this forum?

How does the calculation of interest work with DBS Multiplier? Does the balance from the other DBS savings account included?

Does anyone know for POSB SAVE AS YOU EARN/SERVE (SAYE/SAYS) account, do I need to credit my Salary to the account directly or I can just do a deposit from my own account to receive the special interest?
