Formula to Calculate FD Maturity Amount
The FD maturity amount is calculated using the formula:
- P – Principal amount
- r – Rate of interest
- n – Compounding frequency per year
- t – Investment tenure (years)
Example Calculation
Assume you invest ₹1,00,000 at an interest rate of 6.5%, compounded quarterly, for 5 years.
Your maturity amount will be approximately ₹1,38,042, where ₹38,042 is the interest earned.
Example of FD Investment
Suppose an investor plans to invest ₹3,00,000 in a fixed deposit for 7 years at an interest rate of 6.5%.
Using the FD calculator, the maturity value will be approximately ₹4,71,126, including ₹1,71,126 as interest.
If the same investment is extended to 10 years, the maturity value increases to approximately ₹5,71,668.

What Is a Fixed Deposit (FD)?
A Fixed Deposit (FD) is a traditional investment option where you deposit a lump sum amount with a bank or financial institution for a fixed tenure at a predetermined interest rate.
FDs offer guaranteed returns and are considered a low-risk investment option. They may have a lock-in period, and premature withdrawals can attract penalties.
Different banks offer different interest rates, including special rates for senior citizens. Hence, it is advisable to compare options before investing.
