CD vs. MYGA:
Run Your Own Numbers.

A CD pays taxes every year. A MYGA defers them until you withdraw. This calculator shows what that difference means for your money — using your deposit, your rates, and your tax bracket.

After-tax value at end of term. Interest is taxed each year as it's earned, so less stays invested.

Keep in mind

This is a simplified educational illustration, not tax or investment advice. It assumes CD interest is taxed each year at your marginal rate and MYGA growth is taxed once at withdrawal at the same rate. Actual results depend on the rates available to you, your state, your full tax picture, and the specific products — and withdrawing MYGA gains before age 59½ may incur an additional 10% federal penalty. Confirm your situation with a qualified tax professional.
