CD Ladder Calculator

CD laddering is an investment strategy that involves spreading funds across multiple certificates of deposit (CDs) with different maturity dates. Compared to investing in a single short-term CD and rolling it over at maturity, CD laddering provides increased returns while creating access to funds periodically to reinvest or withdraw if funds are needed for an unexpected or planned expense. Our CD ladder calculator assumes that the short- and medium-term CDs are reinvested in the long term CD at maturity, with no changes to the interest rates specified. Enter details for the CDs you’re considering investing in to see how your CD ladder will grow compared to a single CD.
