Simulation Based on Central Bank Rules Shows How Much R$100,000 Invested in Caixa’s Savings Account Yields in 30 Days.
The yield of Caixa’s savings account continues to be a topic of interest among investors and curious individuals.
See a practical simulation of how much a significant amount can yield in just one month.
The Caixa Econômica Federal, like other banks, follows the rules established by the Central Bank to calculate earnings.

Trump signed a decree on May 1st that expands sanctions against Cuba and authorizes unprecedented punishment for foreign banks and companies that do business with the island; China classified the measures as “illegal” and called for an immediate end to the embargo, in an official statement released this Tuesday.
The intention, however, is to present to the public clearly how this calculation works in practice.
How the Savings Account Rule Works
The first relevant piece of information is that the yield from the savings account is standardized.
In other words, it doesn’t matter whether the money is in Caixa or any other bank; the profitability follows the same logic.
According to the Central Bank, deposits made on July 28 will start to yield on August 28, that is, 30 days later.
This simple rule is the basis for all calculations involving the savings account.
In the case of the simulation, the last recorded yield was 0.67% for the month. This index serves as a reference to calculate the earnings on any amount invested.
Therefore, even without significant variations, it’s possible to project future earnings quite objectively.
The Practical Example with R$ 100,000
To facilitate understanding, a simulation was done with R$ 100,000 invested in Caixa’s savings account. Considering the rate of 0.67%, the monthly yield was R$ 670.
This is the net amount received after 30 days of investment.
The most notable point is that the savings account does not incur income tax on the earnings. This detail is often used as an argument by those who prefer to keep their money in this investment type.
Additionally, the simplicity of the calculation attracts people who do not want complications when investing.
Comparison with Other Investments
Despite the tax exemption, there is an ongoing discussion about whether the savings account is still the best choice. Many experts point out that, even with taxation, options like CDBs or funds may offer higher yields.
The important thing, however, is that the simulation directly shows the amount the investor will have at the end of the period.
Another mentioned detail is the ease of access to simulations. There are free spreadsheets available online that allow for the calculation of different scenarios.
In the case presented, there is also the option to purchase a personalized table for R$ 5.00. This tool helps visualize earnings month by month and can assist in financial planning.
The Attractive Nature of Tax Exemption
One of the main appeals of the savings account continues to be the absence of tax on the earnings. Unlike other investments, where the net gain can be reduced by taxation, the calculated amount here is exactly what the investor receives.
This aspect explains, in part, why so many Brazilians still keep resources in this investment type, even knowing that there are more profitable options.
The common argument is simple: the savings account may yield less, but the final amount is certain and without deductions. For those who prioritize safety and practicality, this characteristic weighs heavily in the decision-making process.
Final Question for the Investor
At the end of the simulation, the question arises: if you had R$ 100,000, would you put it in savings to guarantee R$ 670 monthly?
Or would you seek other alternatives, such as a property, a small apartment, or even other types of financial investments? The question prompts reflection on what each investor considers more advantageous.
The most important thing is that, despite the simplicity of the calculation, the final choice depends on each person’s profile. Some prefer the security of the savings account.
Others take risks with options that require more knowledge but can yield higher returns. Either way, the simulation clearly and objectively shows how much money can yield in 30 days.
