FD Calculator

Calculate fixed deposit maturity value and interest with quarterly compounding, as Indian banks do.

Maturity amount
₹1,41,478
Interest earned
₹41,478

How it works

Indian banks compound FD interest quarterly: maturity = P × (1 + r/4)^(4t), where P is the deposit, r the annual rate as a decimal and t the tenure in years. Quarterly compounding earns slightly more than the headline annual rate suggests.

Example

A ₹1,00,000 FD at 7% for 5 years compounds 20 times and matures at about ₹1,41,478 — ₹41,478 of interest, versus ₹35,000 with simple interest.

Frequently asked questions

Is interest taxed?

Yes — FD interest is added to your income and taxed at your slab; banks deduct TDS beyond a threshold.

What about monthly-payout FDs?

Payout FDs pay simple interest periodically instead of compounding, so maturity value math differs from this cumulative-FD calculator.

Do senior citizens get more?

Most banks add 0.25–0.75% for senior citizens — enter your actual offered rate.

Is premature withdrawal covered?

No — early closure usually applies a penalty and a lower rate for the actual period held.
