Just wanted to check if anybody is keeping track of their interest for the multiple Future Saver accounts?

I checked mine this month and seems like they have fixed it as the estimated interest for the month is close to my calculation of the $50k combined limit and not the 5.15% applied to all accounts with balance less than $50k.

Note I did factor in new rate started on 3rd March. Could also be that I did some transfers in across the month and not sure if the day of transfer in generates interest? E.g. Opening balance $40k, I transferred in $30k on 5th March (arrive same day in the evening), is the 5th March interest calculated on the $40k balance only or the total $70k EOD balance?

  At first glance I thought you had saved $50k for a BBQ.

    Only George Calombaris cooks the books that hard and the ATO knows it.

  …interest for the multiple Future Saver accounts?

  Do the conditions say that the interest rate applies per account or is it on an individual's total balance? (Because it's not hard for them to work out which accounts are linked to a single individual).

  Edit: I found the answer - "Bonus interest is paid on the total balance of all Saver accounts that are held in the same name".

  Got interest at the rate of 5.15% on my total balance across multiple accounts for March.
