You're guessing.
You don't seem to know what it means to earn interest on a bank account.
When you earn interest, you put some money into the bank. The bank then pays you a small amount of money on your money. Typically, today the interest rate is 1%. If you put $200 in the bank, the bank would pay you $2.00 at the end of the year. So -- your account would be worth $202.00.
