Before investing in a fixed deposit, evaluate your tax obligations and estimate your actual earnings. Here are a few crucial points that you must be aware of:

10% TDS applies if the interest earned exceeds the exemption limit
If you have not registered your PAN card, the TDS rate is 20%
To calculate interest per month on a fixed deposit of ₹50 Crores, using an FD calculator is the best option. Here are the steps to follow:
Enter the deposit amount as ₹50 Crores
Provide the applicable interest rate
Select your payout option
Choose a tenure of your preference
Let’s assume you invest ₹50 Crores in a fixed deposit at an interest rate of 9.40% p.a. for a period of 5 years (60 months). The calculation for the monthly interest would be as follows:
Monthly Interest Earned = Principal × Interest Rate / 12
Monthly Interest Earned = ₹50,00,00,000 × 9.40% / 12
Monthly Interest Earned = ₹39,16,666.67
The monthly interest earned on an FD of ₹50 Crores at 9.40% p.a. would be ₹39,16,666.67
Interest Earned Upon Maturity
Total Interest Earned over 5 years = Principal × Interest Rate × Time (in years) / 100
Total Interest Earned = ₹50,00,00,000 × 9.40 × 5 / 100
Total Interest Earned = ₹23.50 Crores
The total interest accumulated over the 5-year tenure would amount to ₹23.50 Crores
