This calculator helps you decide where to park your cash by comparing the after-tax yields of a bank CD, a Treasury bill, and a municipal money market fund. It's especially useful for high earners who want to see if the tax exemptions on Treasuries or muni funds outweigh the higher sticker yields of standard CDs. The tool uses a straightforward tax calculation that covers federal and state brackets, though you'll want to keep in mind that the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax isn't factored in if you're over that income threshold. Overall, it's a clean, easy-to-use view that clearly highlights your best option.
