FD Calculator – Fixed Deposit Calculator
A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a secure investment option offered by banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India. It allows individuals to deposit a lump sum amount for a predetermined period, ranging from 7 days to 10 years, at a fixed interest rate. This investment ensures capital protection and provides higher returns compared to regular savings accounts.
How the Calculator Helps You
Calculating the maturity amount and interest earned on an FD can be intricate due to varying interest rates, compounding frequencies, and tenure options. An FD calculator simplifies this process by:
- Accuracy: Eliminating manual calculation errors, ensuring precise results.
- Time-Saving: Providing instant computations, allowing for quick financial planning.
- Comparison: Enabling evaluation of different FD schemes based on interest rates and tenures to make informed investment decisions.
Formula for Calculation
Interest on Fixed Deposits is typically compounded quarterly. The formula to calculate the maturity amount is:
A = P * (1 + r/n) ^ n*t
Where:- I = A – P
- A = Maturity value
- P = Principal amount
- r = rate of interest
- t = Number of years
- n = Compounded interest frequency
- I = Interest earned amount
Example Calculation
Let's say you invest Rs. 2,00,000 in an Indian Bank FD at 6.5% per annum for 2 years.
Using the simple interest formula:
Maturity Amount = Principal + (Principal * Rate * Tenor)
= 2,00,000 + (2,00,000 * 0.065 * 2)
= 2,00,000 + 27,527
= Rs. 2,27,527
So, the maturity amount on your Rs. 2 lakh Bank FD after 2 years at 6.5% interest will be Rs. 2,27,527.
