What This Estimate Assumes

Rough estimate using simple interest over your chosen time. T-bills are assumed to roll over at the same rate, and only complete 6-month cycles count, so months left over earn nothing. SSB uses the first-year average rate you enter. Ignores compounding, FD penalties for early withdrawal, and that you can cash out SSBs in any month. Starting rates are examples only. Check MAS and bank sites for live rates.
