Here are some of the advantages of using an online FD calculator:

• Facilitates Better Investment Planning

The calculator gives you an estimate of the maturity value. This includes the interest accumulated during the tenor. So, you can forecast returns with ease. 

 

Our calculator has no restrictions on how many times you can use it. If the initial investment terms show undesirable returns, try other combinations. This helps you better plan your investment from the lens of the:

1. Issuer and rates

2. Tenor

3. Investment amount

• Aids in Achieving Financial Goals

The tool gives an estimate of the maturity amount based on the principal amount. With it, you can understand whether you need to add or subtract from the investment amount. This will help you better plan your budget and attain goals efficiently. 

• Helps Compare Options Easily

An  FD returns calculator helps you compare payouts from a range of FD schemes available. Comparing earnings is crucial. Even a small variation in rates may result in a large difference in returns when computed over time. With the potential returns in mind, you can choose a suitable FD. 

Banks and NBFCs calculate interest on FDs using two formulas: simple and compound. In the compound formula, the interest is compounded at a predetermined frequency. 

 

The formula depends on the issuers and the terms of your investment. Here is how to calculate FD interest with a formula: 

Simple Interest

Interest = P x R x T/100

Here, 

• P is the principal amount
• R is the rate of interest
• T is the tenor

 

Say you invest ₹20,000 for 5 years at an interest of 6% per annum, the interest earned will be ₹6,000 as per this formula. 

Compound Interest

Interest = P {(1 + i/100n) ^nt – 1}

Here,

• P is the deposit amount
• I is the FD interest rate
• T is the investment tenor
• N is the number of times interest is compounded

 

In this case, let's use the same terms mentioned before. Here, assume you have chosen a quarterly compounding frequency. So, the compound interest will be ₹6,937.

 

Note: The figures mentioned above are just for illustrative purposes. The actual returns may vary depending on the issuer and investment terms.

 

Manual calculations carry the risk of errors. FD calculators are a great way to ensure accuracy. You can also use an FD calculator for monthly payouts if you choose a monthly frequency. If you opt for the at-maturity payout option, you can use the compound interest FD calculator, and so on.

Calculating the maturity value of your deposit is easy and quick when you use an FD calculator. Most online calculators also give you an estimate of the maturity amount. This is along with the total interest and payout amount.

 

But there is a way to know the maturity amount if the non-cumulative or cumulative FD calculator does not. You can manually calculate the maturity value using the following formula: 

 

A = P * (1+ r/n) ^ n*t

 

Here,

• A = maturity amount

• P = principal amount

• R = interest rate

• N = compounding frequency

• T = investment tenor

 

Here is an example: Say you book an FD of ₹3 Lakhs with a tenor of 3 years and an interest rate of 7% with quarterly compounding frequency. Using the formula, the maturity value will be approximately ₹3,69,431. 

 

If you have the interest amount available, add it to the principal investment amount to know the maturity value.
