The Fixed Deposit (FD) calculator on Bajaj Markets allows you to estimate the maturity value of your fixed deposit investment. By entering your investment amount, interest rate, and tenure, you can easily calculate the interest earned at maturity. 

How an FD Calculator Works

An FD calculator works by taking your principal amount, interest rate, and investment tenure into account. Once you enter these details, the calculator uses a formula to calculate the interest earned and the total maturity value at the end of the term. 

 

It also considers the frequency of compounding (monthly, quarterly, or annually) to give you an accurate result.

 

Here are some of the benefits of using this tool:

  • The FD Calculator simplifies the complex process of estimating maturity value by allowing you to customise inputs based on your investment preferences.

  • It saves you time by quickly generating accurate estimates of your maturity value and interest earnings in just a few seconds.

  • With its high accuracy, the FD Calculator ensures that you receive reliable results, helping you plan your investments efficiently.

How to Calculate FD Interest

Calculating FD returns involves understanding both simple and compound interest. These formulae help estimate how much your investment will grow over time, enabling you to make informed decisions. Here is how you can calculate FD interest:

Simple Interest

Simple interest is calculated on the initial principal amount for the entire tenure. Here’s the formula for calculating it:

 

Simple Interest (SI) = P * R * T

 

Wherein,

  • P stands for Principal amount

  • R stands for Rate of interest

  • T stands for Tenure

 

Example:

 

If you invest ₹50,000 at an interest rate of 7% p.a. for a tenure of 3 years, the simple interest would be:

 

Interest = 50,000 * 7% * 3 = ₹10,500

Compound Interest

Compound interest is calculated on the initial principal and the interest accumulated over previous periods. Here’s the formula for calculating it:

 

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

 

Wherein,

  • A is the total amount of money collected after n years, including interest

  • P is the initial principal amount 

  • r is the interest rate 

  • n is the frequency of interest compounded per annum

  • t is the tenure

 

Example:

 

If you invest ₹50,000 at an interest rate of 7% p.a. for a duration of 3 years, compounded annually, the interest earned would be:

 

In this case, P = ₹50,000, r = 7%, n = 1 (compounded annually), and t = 3 years

 

Hence, A = ₹50,000(1 + 0.07/1)^(1*3) = ₹61,252.45

 

Interest earned would be A - P = ₹61,252.45 - ₹50,000 = ₹11,252.45.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a fixed deposit calculator assist in financial planning?

An FD calculator helps you compare interest rates and tenures and estimate the returns upon maturity. These factors contribute to better financial planning and informed decision-making.

How does the interest rate impact my fixed deposit returns?

The interest rate offered determines how much your investment will grow over time. A higher interest rate results in higher returns at maturity.

What factors should I consider when selecting a bank or NBFC for my fixed deposit?

When investing, consider the institution's credit rating. Also, review the interest rate and deposit insurance coverage, if applicable. These factors ensure the safety of your investment and directly impact its profitability.

Is my fixed deposit insured, and what is the coverage amount?

All FDs offered by banks are insured up to ₹5 Lakhs under the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) scheme. NBFC FDs are not covered under this scheme. You can check their CRISIL rating to assess security and reliability.

What happens if I don’t withdraw my FD at maturity?

Most issuers offer an option to auto-renew your fixed deposit for the same tenure at the current interest rate. However, if you haven't opted for auto-renewal, the maturity amount will be transferred to your savings account at the end of the tenure.

Can I break my FD before maturity, and what are the penalties?

You can break FDs with a premature withdrawal facility. Penalties may include an interest rate reduction of 0.5% to 1%, which could reduce your overall returns on the FD. It is important to note that premature withdrawals are not applicable for tax-saver FDs.

Are the returns from FDs taxable?

Yes, the interest you earn from an FD is taxable. The interest earned is added to your income and taxed according to your income slab. TDS is deducted if the interest exceeds ₹40,000 (₹50,000 in the case of senior citizens) in a financial year.

 

For example, if a regular citizen earns ₹60,000 as interest in a year, TDS will be deducted on the ₹20,000 that exceeds the ₹40,000 limit. At a 10% TDS rate, ₹2,000 will be deducted.

Is an FD calculator free to use?

Yes, an FD calculator is completely free to use. By entering your deposit amount, preferred tenure, and payout frequency, you can easily estimate the best-suited interest rate and maturity amount on Bajaj Markets.

How much time does it take to use an FD calculator?

Using an FD calculator typically takes just a few minutes. Simply enter your deposit amount, tenure, and payout frequency. The calculator will quickly showcase the returns and maturity amount. It's a fast and efficient tool for planning your investments.

How can an FD calculator help in comparing different FD options?

An FD calculator helps you compare different fixed deposit options from various providers. You can compare their interest rates, tenures, and maturity amounts, making it easier to choose the most suitable FD.

What is a tax-saving fixed deposit?

A tax-saving fixed deposit allows investors to claim deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (up to ₹1.5 Lakhs in deductions per financial year). However, these FDs have a 5-year lock-in period, during which funds cannot be withdrawn.

What are the risks of auto-renewing a fixed deposit?

Auto-renewing a fixed deposit in a declining interest rate environment can be risky because the renewed FD may offer a lower interest rate than the original. This reduction could affect your overall earnings if rates have changed substantially since your initial investment.

What is the maturity amount in an FD?

The maturity amount in an FD is the total value you receive at the end of the tenure, including your principal and the interest earned. It depends on the interest rate, compounding frequency, and investment duration.
