Bank interest depends on the rate, deposit period and capitalization frequency. Here’s how to calculate it and compare offers safely.

Capitalization

Capitalization adds interest to the principal. More frequent capitalization usually increases the final result.

How to calculate deposit interest

Use simple interest and then account for capitalization. The bank interest calculator gives a quick estimate.

Tax on capital gains

Deposit interest is usually taxed and banks often withhold the tax automatically, so clients receive the net amount.

Comparing offers

Compare effective rates after capitalization and the net result after tax.

Renewable and progressive deposits

Renewable deposits may have different rates in the next period, while progressive deposits change over time. Treat each period separately.

Common mistakes

  • comparing only the nominal rate,
  • ignoring tax,
  • ignoring capitalization.

Inflation impact

A nominal rate is not the whole picture. With higher inflation, the real return can be lower, so compare the real value after the deposit ends.
