$10 in a savings account since 1980 is worth how much today?



Answer:
thats depends on the interest rate. probably around 50 bucks
Every month, week, year?
Assuming an interest rate of about 3%, maybe $25.
Somewhere around $10. Most banks don't let you start earning intrest unless you have a certain amount(usually around $500).
Bring it to the bank to where the money is and have them upgrade the book.
it's worth almost nothing.
Impossible to tell without knowing how much the bank in question pays on a savings account and how often interest is paid and compounded. It's very likely fluctuated a lot in the last 26 years; savings rates are on the rise again, but a few years ago they were hovering around 1%. I'd guess you have doubled your money in that time, but probably not much more than that.

That's assuming it hasn't gone dormant, been escheated to the state or been fee'd out of existence.
$10.00 at 1-1/2 percent (pretty normal for as savings account) for 16 years.
