📘 About the FD Calculator

In a cumulative (or reinvestment) fixed deposit, the interest is not paid out; it is added to your deposit and earns interest itself. That compounding is why the same rate gives you more than a payout deposit over the same period.

Enter the deposit, the interest rate and the number of years to see the maturity amount and the interest earned.

🧮 Formula

Maturity amount
A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n × t)
Interest earned
Interest = A − P

Where

  • P = deposit, r = yearly rate ÷ 100, n = compounding times a year (4 for quarterly), t = years
This calculator compounds once a year. Many banks compound quarterly, so a bank's maturity value can be slightly higher.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is FD interest taxable?

Yes. Interest on fixed deposits is added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, and banks may deduct TDS above a yearly limit.

Cumulative or payout — which is better?

Choose cumulative to grow a lump sum. Choose payout if you want regular income from the deposit.

What does compounding frequency change?

The more often interest is added, the higher the maturity value. Quarterly compounding gives slightly more than yearly at the same rate.

How is FD interest calculated in India?

Banks compound quarterly: A = P × (1 + r/4)^(4t). ₹1 lakh at 7% for 5 years becomes ₹1,41,478.

What will ₹1 lakh FD give after 1 year?

At 7% with quarterly compounding, about ₹1,07,186 — ₹7,186 interest.
