Interest income is considered taxable when earned. For example, if your savings account accrues interest, it is taxable at the time of accrual even if you are not utilizing the funds within the account. However, if you are accruing interest on a treasury bond that you have not yet cashed, the interest is not taxable until the bond is cashed and you receive the funds.

Interest from savings accounts is ordinary income. It is taxed at the same rate as wages, for example. (Social Security and Medicare taxes do not apply to interest.) The rate is anywhere from 10% to 35% depending on your overall taxable income and your filing status. Interest from savings accounts is not capital gains.

The interest on a savings account is calculated by multiplying the account balance by the interest rate and the time the money is held in the account. This calculation is typically done on a monthly or annual basis.
The interest on $500,000 in savings depends on the interest rate offered by the savings account. For example, if the account has an annual interest rate of 1%, the interest earned in one year would be $5,000. At a higher interest rate, such as 3%, the annual interest would be $15,000. It's important to check the specific terms of the savings account for accurate calculations.
High interest savings account rates vary, depending upon the bank a person selects. A higher interest savings account rate could be anywhere from 0.75% to 1.00%.
