Money market account rates are falling, so it’s crucial to compare rates to maximize earnings. The national average money market rate is currently at 0.59%, a significant increase from three years ago. Some top accounts are offering over 4% APY, making it a good time to open an account. The interest you earn depends on the annual percentage rate (APY) and how often interest compounds. With daily compounding, $10,000 in an MMA at 0.59% would grow to $10,059.17 in a year. Opting for a 4% APY account would result in a balance of $10,408.08. While 7% interest rates are rare, some local banks and credit unions may offer promotional rates at that level for limited balances.
