Description

The interest rate on your savings account isn't the full story. There's a real tax cost hiding behind it, and the amount depends on your income, your state, and your situation.

If you're tired of guessing where your cash should sit, join Bill Harris in the first episode of Money Lab. Former CEO of PayPal and Intuit, founder of Personal Capital, he's spent three decades building the financial technology that's now behind Evergreen.ai, the free tool running the numbers.
