Frequently Asked Questions
What is APY?▼
APY (Annual Percentage Yield) reflects the total interest earned in a year with compounding. A 5% APY compounded monthly earns more than 5% simple interest because you earn interest on interest.
How much should I have in an emergency fund?▼
3-6 months of essential expenses is the standard recommendation. If your income is irregular or you're the sole earner, aim for 6-12 months.
