How We Get Paid | YieldDocket

The Friday Docket

This week's Treasury results and national rates, free every Friday.

Trust

Short version: almost all of the site is public government data, shown for free. The one way we can earn money today is an affiliate program with a stock research tool, and it never changes the numbers or rankings.

Where the numbers come from

Treasury auctions: the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data API and the TreasuryDirect results PDFs.
CD and savings rates: FDIC National Rates and Rate Caps, published monthly.
Dividend changes: 8-K filings on SEC EDGAR.

Every figure shows its date and links to its official source. See the methodology for exactly how each number is pulled and calculated.

How we make money

YieldDocket is a member of the Stock Rover affiliate program. Some links to Stock Rover are affiliate links and are labeled where they appear. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

We have no other affiliate relationships today and receive no compensation from any bank, broker, Treasury, or other company we mention. If that changes, we will name the partner on this page and label every link. We will not add a partner without updating this page first.

What pay never changes

Auction rates, FDIC averages and dividend figures are copied from the official source. They are never adjusted.
The "Pick of the week" is chosen on issuer quality (U.S. Treasury backing or FDIC insurance), not on who pays us. No partner can pay for a pick or a ranking.
No paid placements, no sponsored rate tables, no countdown timers. Auction dates are set by Treasury.

What this site is not

YieldDocket is educational. It is not investment, tax, or legal advice, and no yield shown is a promise of future returns. Past auction rates do not predict future ones. YieldDocket is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Treasury, TreasuryDirect, the FDIC, or the SEC.
