An earnings credit is a monthly credit based on the average investable balance that can partially or totally offset certain fees incurred by maintaining and using Analyzed Business Checking.
How an earnings credit works by example:
Assume an average collected balance of $40,000 in an Analyzed Business Checking Account and an annual earnings credit rate of 2.50%*. The monthly earnings credit earned on this account is $76.43.
| Take your average collected balance: | $40,000 |
| Subtract a 10% reserve requirement: | $ 4,000 |
| This is the investable balance available to offset fees | $36,000 |
| Take this balance: | $36,000 |
| Multiply it by the monthly Earnings credit | .0021232 |
| (This is calculated by dividing the monthly earnings credit rate (.0225) by the number of days in the year (365) multiplied by the number of days in the statement cycle (31) for that month) | |
| Earnings Credit | $ 76.43 |
| Assume the following monthly activity and related fees on an Analyzed Business Checking account: | |
| Monthly Account Maintenance Fee | $15.00 |
| Checks Paid 250 @ .17 | $42.50 |
| Items Deposited 475 @ .15 | $71.25 |
| Deposit Tickets 20 @ .35 | $7.00 |
| $ 135.75 | |
| To calculate the total charge for this month’s activity, Subtract the Earnings Credit from the monthly charges: | |
| Monthly Charges | $135.75 |
| Earnings Credit | $76.43 |
| Charge deducted from your Analyzed Business Checking Account that month: | $59.32 |
| *The Earnings Credit Rate is set each month at First Federal of Bucks County’s discretion. | |
