How it works

Most banks compound FD interest every quarter on cumulative deposits. The calculator does the same, before tax.

FD interest is taxed at your income-tax slab, and the bank may deduct TDS.

Formula: Maturity = P × (1 + r ÷ 4)^(4 × n), where P is the deposit, r the yearly rate and n the number of years.
