Interest counts as income in your tax return. Estimate your tax

Assumptions
  • Each month counts as 1/12 of a year and each day as 1/365 of a year; calendar dates are not used.
  • Interest is paid once at the end of the term (simple interest).
  • Rates stay the same for the whole term.
  • Tax on interest and account fees are not included.
  • Figures are calculated unrounded and rounded to cents at the end. A bank rounds each interest payment, so its figures can differ by a few cents.
