What is that bank account bonus actually worth?

Turn an advertised Canadian bank bonus into an estimated net value after account fees, switching costs and interest you may give up. The calculator does not assume that you qualify—check every condition first.

Terms change. Enter figures from the bank’s current official offer page and read its eligibility, deposit, transaction, payment and account-retention rules before applying.

A simple comparison method

  1. Copy the official terms. Record the offer deadline, eligibility definition, required actions and retention period.
  2. Use realistic costs. Include fees for every month you cannot confidently waive, plus switching costs and lost interest.
  3. Compare the net result. A larger headline bonus can be worth less after fees or demanding conditions.
  4. Recheck on application day. Save the official terms and confirmation because offer pages can change.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare Canadian bank account bonuses?

Start with the bonus you can realistically qualify for, then subtract monthly fees, switching costs, forgone interest and any other cost required to earn it. Compare products over the same period.

Is the advertised bonus the same as net value?

No. The advertised amount is a headline figure. Net value accounts for the costs you incur to qualify and keep the account for the required period.

Does this calculator recommend a bank account?

No. It is an educational tool, not individualized financial advice or a ranking of financial products. Product suitability depends on your needs and the provider’s current terms.
