A CD ladder allows you to open four CDs at the same time, for the same amount, but maturing at staggered intervals.

Here’s an example for a 12-month CD ladder:

You open four CDs at the same time, with 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month terms.

When each CD matures, its new term automatically changes to 12 months.

The result is four 12-month CDs, with one maturing every three months.
