Default Re: Calculating rate of return

If you leave off the last $300 deposit, which has only been there 1 month, you have a rate of about

200 / 2100 = 9.5%

If you leave off the last two $300 deposits, which have only been there 2 months and 1 month respectively,

200/ 1800 = 11%

So your true rate is probably closer to 9 or 10% or so on the money that has been in there long enough to make the biggest difference on the earnings or interest rate.
