Balance high CD rates and access to your money with a CD ladder

Choosing to open multiple CDs over varying terms can be a smart financial strategy. When staggering maturity dates of a group of CDs that you open, you can potentially earn higher CD rates plus maintain greater access to your money. This simple strategy, called CD laddering, can bring you greater returns over time than you might get from putting your money into short-term CDs.

Reasons building a CD ladder by opening multiple CDs can be a smart strategy

  • Staggering CD maturity dates ensures regular access to a portion of your money—great for emergency funds and other financial goals
  • As CDs mature, you can choose to renew them for longer terms and/or higher rates—eventually, your entire CD portfolio could earn higher CD rates and your money will still be available at regular intervals

How to build and manage a CD ladder

1. For this illustration, you have $20,000 you've chosen to spread among several $5,000 CDs, staggered to mature at 6-month intervals. The 2-year CD term provides the highest rate of return for this portfolio (see CD rates at right).

CD Term Deposit APY Maturity
A 6 month $5,000 1.35% 6 months
B 1 year $5,000 1.65% 1 year
C 1.5 year $5,000 1.65% 1.5 years
D 2 year $5,000 2.10% 2 years


2. Upon 6-month CD maturity, you can instruct EverBank to roll your 6-month CD into a new 2-year CD. Now, a couple of your CDs earn 2-year CD rates.

CD Term Deposit APY Maturity
B 1 year $5,000 1.65% 6 months
C 1.5 year $5,000 1.65% 1 year
D 2 year $5,000 2.10% 1.5 years
A 2 year $5,000 + earned interest 2.10% 2 years


3. Repeat step 2 as each CD matures and eventually all of your CDs will earn the higher 2-year CD rates as illustrated below. Additionally, your CDs will continue to mature at 6-month intervals.

CD Term Deposit APY Maturity
A 2 year $5,000 + earned interest 2.10% 6 months
B 2 year $5,000 + earned interest 2.10% 1 year
C 2 year $5,000 + earned interest 2.10% 1.5 years
D 2 year $5,000 + earned interest 2.10% 2 years
