Money market account rates can change daily, weekly, monthly - depending on the institution. I have a link to bankrate, which list 'a lot' of them.\n\nUnderstand it is NOT a complete list, but it is good for an idea, what banks/financial institutions are paying.\n\nCurrently HSBC Direct is paying 4.5% for their on line savings account - you may find this is more than many money market accounts.\n\nBeing a savings account, means there are limits as to the amount of times you can withdraw funds each month. You can make as many over the counter withdrawls as you like each month, but only 3 electronic.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nPS. Consider the rate, but also consider convenience, and an account that works the way you need it to.

Some passbook savings accounts pay as low as 0.5%. The average money market savings account rate as of today is 2.92%, but I don't believe there is any regulated 'minimum.'

The simplest way is to multily by 12.  While that doesn't give the exact rate, it is generally close enough.  For deposits, (savings accounts or money markets) rates are usually expressed in APY (annual percentage yield).  So a money market paying 6% APY would have a 0.5% monthly yield, if interest is compounded monthly.\n\nFor loans, most lenders calculate interest by assuming that each month has 30 days and each year has 360 days.  That makes each month have the same interest.  To get the actual annual rate, you would divide the monthly rate by the number of days in the month (31 for march) and multiply by the number of days in the year (365).  But the result is so close that it's usually good enough to just multiply by 12.

Money Market accounts typically offer a much higher rate of return than savings accounts. They invest in super safe securities such as short term bonds and t-bills. They are completely liquid (you can make withdraws whenever). I highly recommend opening a money market account simply because you earn 2% or 3% more than a savings account. They also adjust to the current interest rate much faster than savings accounts which typically move like molasses on a winter day.

Your math is correct but you have to remember that all rate are on annual basis. That means that if you invest 5000.00 for one year you will earn $27.00 after one year with 0.55%. \n\nThe difference between Money market account and saving account is following.\n\nMoney Market:\n\n-Ussualy requires higher minimum balance\n-You are limited to amount of withdraws (6 per month out of the six 3 can be checks)\n- Some Money Market accounts may not br FDIC insured\n\nSavings account:\n\n-Lower balance\n-Lower interest\n-Lower monthly fee if account is uder minimum balace\n-you can make up to 6 withraws per month no checks\n\n\nSome other regulations apply.\n\nHope this helps.

If you have 5-10,000 dollars then the money market deal is good mentioned above. But if you're like most of us that have a grand or less, you want to look into online banks for the best interest. These are a little scary because you can't walk into them and if you want to tak out money, it takes a day or two, but they pay the best interest. Check this link to compare interest rates. Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/chk/20001002j.asp

A savings account that provides bank depositors with many of the advantages of a money market fund. Certain regulatory restrictions apply to the withdrawal of funds from a money market account.\n\nA money market fund is a mutual fund that allows individuals to participate in managed investments in short-term debt securities, such as certificates of deposit and Treasury bills.
