The calculations above show gross amounts before taxes and social security contributions, and assume that the daily balance in the savings account remains the same during the whole period. If you keep the paid interest in your N26 Instant Savings account, the total gross interest earned during the whole period will be higher. This is because you'll be earning interest on the interest you've already earned in the previous months. The values shown here are for information purposes only. They do not constitute investment advice.
