How to use the fd calculator
Enter the deposit amount, interest rate and tenure, then choose how often interest compounds.
How the fd calculator works
Maturity amount = P × (1 + r ÷ q)^(q × t), where P is the deposit, r the annual rate, q the compounding periods per year and t the tenure in years. More frequent compounding gives a slightly higher effective yield.
