Before you invest in an FD of ₹5 Crores, calculate the ₹5 Crore FD interest per month using the FD calculator. All you have to do is enter the following values:
Principal amount
FD tenure
Interest rate
Assume you invest ₹5 Crores in a fixed deposit at an interest rate of 8.35% p.a. for a tenure of 4 years (48 months). Here's how the ₹5 Crore fixed deposit interest per month is calculated:
Monthly Interest = Principal × Interest Rate / 12
Monthly Interest = ₹5,00,00,000 × 8.35% / 12
Monthly Interest = ₹41,75,000 / 12
Monthly Interest = ₹3,47,916.67
Thus, the ₹5 Crore FD monthly interest earned would be ₹3,47,916.67
Interest Earned Upon Maturity
Total Interest = Monthly Interest × Number of Months
Total Interest = ₹3,47,916.67 × 48
Total Interest = ₹1,66,99,999.84
So, the total interest accumulated over the 4-year period would be approximately ₹1.67 Crores.
Note: Check the formula used by the bank or NBFC to get an accurate estimate.

If you invest ₹5 Crores in an FD with a 4-year tenure at 8.35% p.a. but withdraw it after 2 years, the interest rate changes. For the 2-year period, the applicable rate drops to 7.35% p.a. With a 1% penalty for early withdrawal, the final interest rate reduces to 6.35% p.a., resulting in lower returns.
