And in the economic climate of the last five years, in which <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/inflation-june-cpi-report-hit-new-high-40-years-9-1-percent\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">inflation<\/a><\/span> soared and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/federal-reserve-hikes-interest-rate-to-22-year-high-july-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">borrowing costs<\/a><\/span> surged alongside it, saving money while keeping debt low was made even more difficult. There was one silver lining, however: elevated rates on interest-earning savings accounts. A <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/whats-a-certificate-of-deposit-cd\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">certificate of deposit (CD) account<\/a><\/span>, in particular, saw rates as high as 6% and 7%.<\/p>\n<p>So, you may have been able to save $70,000 with the help of a CD. Or a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/high-yield-savings-account\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">high-yield savings<\/a><\/span> or <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/money-market-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">money market account<\/a><\/span>. Either way, saving those funds is only part of the equation. Knowing where to store them now, especially with <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cpi-report-today-april-2026-inflation-iran-war-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">inflation<\/a><\/span> growing again, is equally important. Savers, then, may be reconsidering the merits of a CD account, especially given that the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/federal-reserve-fomc-meeting-today-rate-decision-jerome-powell-kevin-warsh\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Federal Reserve<\/a><\/span> has elected to keep interest rates higher for longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, it can be helpful to understand the interest-earning potential a CD currently offers. But how much interest can a $70,000 CD account actually earn now? That&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll examine below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/cbsnews\/best-cd-options\/?sub-id=www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-much-interest-can-70000-cd-account-earn-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored, noopener\">Start earning more interest on your money with a CD account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much interest can a $70,000 CD account earn now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>CD accounts employ <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fixed-vs-variable-interest-rate-which-is-better-for-your-savings-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">fixed interest rates<\/a><\/span>, which can make interest-earning projections simple to complete with precision.

Keeping it frozen is critical, however, as savers who attempt to access the funds prematurely will incur an <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cd-early-withdrawal-penalties-what-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">early withdrawal penalty<\/a><\/span>. And with an account of this size, that fee could be costly, easily negating most or even all of the interest earned to that point. If you can maintain the account with financial comfort, however, this could be the right savings account at the right time now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/landing\/cbsnews\/best-cd-options\/?sub-id=www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-much-interest-can-70000-cd-account-earn-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored, noopener\">Get started with a CD account online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What to do with your traditional savings account<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been maintaining your $70,000 in a traditional savings account \u2013 or any amount \u2013 consider moving it out and into a better alternative quickly. The average rate on a traditional account is just 0.38% now, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdic.gov\/national-rates-and-rate-caps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FDIC<\/a>. But the top CD account rates are all exponentially higher.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>High-yield savings and money market accounts also have similar rates to the top CDs, and they won&#8217;t require savers to sacrifice access to their funds (though both have variable rates subject to change over time). By keeping any sizable savings in a traditional account, though, not only are you failing to keep pace with inflation, but you&#8217;re technically <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ways-youre-losing-money-and-how-to-fix-it-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">losing money<\/a><\/span> by not taking advantage of the multiple, more profitable alternatives you still have access to.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A $70,000 CD account can earn savers hundreds of dollars and thousands of dollars over an extended period, as long as they can maintain the account through the maturity date. But with high rates also available on other account types (minus the accessibility restrictions CDs come with), there&#8217;s no reason to keep your money in a low-rate traditional account. Consider making the move soon, then, to start earning more interest on your hard-earned money. It likely took a lot of work and time to build your $70,000 so it makes sense to earn as much interest on it as possible right now.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/angelica-leicht\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Angelica  Leicht<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-much-interest-can-70000-cd-account-earn-now\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A $70,000 CD account will earn a significant return in just a few months.
