How to Build a CD Ladder
Here’s an example of how to set up a CD ladder. Let’s say you want to build a three-year CD ladder with three rungs. If you have $5,000, then you might divide the funds into three CDs with different maturity dates:
- $1,000 in a 1-year CD
- $1,000 in a 2-year CD
- $1,000 in a 3-year CD
*Rates in the How to Build a CD Ladder example are not exact and are used for illustration purposes only.
*An early withdrawal penalty is imposed if you withdraw any funds before maturity date.
When the first CD matures, you continue to build your ladder by reinvesting the funds into a new three-year CD with a higher yield. Then, when the 16-month CD matures, use the proceeds from that account to open a new three-year CD. Continue the process each year for as long as you want to maintain the CD ladder.
