📘 About the FD Interest Payout Calculator

A payout fixed deposit pays the interest to you regularly, monthly or quarterly, instead of adding it to the deposit. Your principal stays the same and comes back to you at maturity.

This calculator shows the payout you receive each period, the total interest over the term and the total you get back.

🧮 Formula

Payout per period
Payout = P × (r ÷ m)
Total interest
Total interest = Payout × (years × m)
Total received
Total = P + Total interest

Where

  • P = amount deposited
  • r = annual interest rate ÷ 100
  • m = payouts per year (12 for monthly, 4 for quarterly)

❓ Frequently asked questions

Why is the payout lower than cumulative interest?

Because the interest is paid out instead of being reinvested, it never compounds. That is the trade-off for regular income.

Is the payout taxable?

Yes. Interest is taxable in the year it is earned and taxed at your slab rate.

Can I choose monthly or quarterly?

Yes. Monthly gives smaller, more frequent payouts; quarterly gives larger payouts less often. The yearly total is the same in this calculator.

What is the monthly interest on ₹10 lakh FD?

At 7% it is about ₹5,833 a month (₹70,000 a year).
