Money will use the interest rate you specify in the account details to
project interest earnings for Budget Planner and Forecast Cash Flow. Beyond
that, it won't do anything automatic without regard to how accurately you
specify the start day.

You can define the start day by setting a $0 starting balance when you do
the account setup. Then create a beginning balance at a given data by
entering a transaction for a given data with the balance you want. It won't
make much difference since Money doesn't do much of anything with the
information.

I want to manually add a savings account that I have at a bank that has no
online access.

The only thing I will be doing is adding $1000 every now and then, and this
account will give me 5% APR return.

How do I add this account and have it do the calculation of it's growth with
interest for me along the way. I also want to define a start day for the
opening of the account so the calculation is done precisely?
