If I bought a 1000 dollar cd what kind of interest will I get for 3 months?6 months? 9 months? 12 months?

Question

Is their anyone out there that can give a straight answer?

Answer 1

It depends on the bank and the day, it changes all the time, but is locked for the period of time that you have the CD.

Go to your bank and ask them.  Or check out the best rates available online at www.bankrate.com

Answer 2

Try using http://www.bankaround.com. They have a nice feature where you can put in how much you have and how long you plan to invest.

Just keep in mind the interest figures are only estimates.
