Question: How does this Certificate of Deposit penalty for Early Withdrawal work?

There is a 5 year Certificate of Deposit offering 6% interest. Penalty is .75% (so 5.25% interest) for every year that the money is withdrawn early.
Does this mean that withdrawl in say, the 3rd year would give you 6% for the first 2 years and 5.25% for the 3rd, or would it be 5.25% for all 3 years?

Answer: Consider buying cd’s through a discount broker in the future.
Such as Schwab or Fidelity.
Their cd’s don’t have a penalty for selling early –
they simply sell at market price – usually you make a profit.

Could it be that they will be charging you 75% of the interest you earned during the last year? That would sound about right for a bank.
I would call the bank- this is new.
Usually they just charge 6 or 9 months interest -
banks are getting more clever at confusing people.

Question: Better to withdraw funds from a 401K or IRA?

Assuming you can withdraw early from an IRA account.

Answer: Neither is good to withdraw from. You are looking at about 40% in fees and penalties. And if you loose your job (where the 401k) is at and you haven’t paid back the loan, the government will assume you did an emergency withdraw.

I urge you to try and scrimp and save for what ever your emergency is (or ask for a payment plan with what you need to do).

Question: Is there a penalty for withdrawing from a Roth IRA to pay a student loan?

I know there is usually a penalty for Early Withdrawal but isn’t that waived for education expenses?

Answer: There is no penalty exception for withdrawing funds to pay for a student loan.

That being said, you would be able to withdraw a portion of your Roth IRA savings without paying taxes or penalties. With a ROTH, you can withdraw, without penalty, up to the dollar amount that you have contributed to the plan. Any earnings would be subject to taxes and penalties if withdrawn.

Example:
Let’s say you contributed $20,000 over the years to a ROTH. That $20,000 has grown to $25,000. You would be able to withdraw up to $20,000 penalty free… but if you were to withdraw more than the $20,000, taxes + penalties would apply.

Hope this helps!
