What's a good money market account rate considered to be this September?
Thinking of moving some money into a market account? Here's what a good rate on the account is considered to be now.
As of September, a solid money market account rate is deemed to be around 4% or more. This rate would enable savers to accumulate $200 annually on a $5,000 deposit, $600 on a $15,000 deposit, $1,000 on a $25,000 deposit, $2,000 on a $50,000 deposit, or $4,000 on a $100,000 deposit, assuming no account activity affects the principal.
These projections are based on a top rate of 4.00% enduring throughout the year and no changes in account activity. Given the volatility of interest rates, securing the highest possible rate at present is advised to maximize interest earnings.
