iHow it is calculated
Interest applies to the deposited amount, compounded monthly, and the interest-income tax (10% in Romania) is withheld from the gain:
net interest = gross interest × (1 − 10%)
At 10,000, 6% a year, over 12 months: gross interest ≈ 617, tax ≈ 62, so net interest ≈ 555 and maturity ≈ 10,555.

?Frequently asked questions
What is a term deposit?
It is money placed with a bank for a fixed period (e.g. 3, 6 or 12 months) at a set interest rate. At maturity you receive the initial amount plus the net interest.
How is deposit interest calculated?
Interest applies to the deposited amount, usually compounded monthly. At 10,000 with 6% a year over 12 months, gross interest is about 617, from which tax is deducted.
What tax is paid on deposit interest?
In Romania, interest is taxed at 10% (income tax), withheld by the bank. On 617 gross interest, the tax is about 62, and net interest about 555.
Is the health contribution (CASS) paid on deposit interest?
It can be. If total investment income exceeds certain annual thresholds (6, 12 or 24 minimum wages), a 10% CASS is also due. Below the threshold, only the 10% tax is withheld.
What is the effective annual rate on a deposit?
The nominal rate is the advertised one. The effective annual rate includes the compounding effect and reflects the real yearly gain. For deposits the two are close.
Is deposit interest guaranteed?
Yes, it is fixed for the deposit term. In addition, deposits up to EUR 100,000 per customer per bank are guaranteed by the Bank Deposit Guarantee Fund (FGDB).
What happens if I withdraw before maturity?
You usually lose part or all of the accrued interest, receiving only the much lower “sight” rate. Check the early-withdrawal clauses in the contract.
Does a deposit beat inflation?
It depends. If the net interest is below the inflation rate, purchasing power falls in real terms. Always compare net interest with the estimated annual inflation.
