How to calculate FD interest?

The FD interest rates calculator helps in determining the interest and the maturity amount of your investment.

The formula to determine FD maturity amount

There are two types of FD that you may avail of – simple interest FD and compound interest FD.

The fixed deposit interest rate calculator for simple interest FD uses the following formula

M = P + (P x r x t/100)


Where:

  • M is the maturity amount
  • P is the principal amount that you deposit
  • r is the rate of interest per annum
  • t is the tenure in years

For compound interest FD, the FD return calculator uses the following formula –

M= P + P {(1 + i/100) t – 1}


Where:

  • M is the maturity amount
  • P is the principal amount
  • i is the rate of interest per period
  • t is the tenure
