Maturity Amount Calculation Example

Here’s how to calculate the monthly interest for a fixed deposit of ₹60 Lakhs at an interest rate of 8.50% p.a. over a period of 3 years (36 months):

• Monthly Interest = Principal × Interest Rate / 12

• Monthly Interest = ₹60,00,000 × 8.50% / 12

• Monthly Interest = ₹60,00,000 × 0.085 / 12

• Monthly Interest = ₹5,10,000 / 12

• Monthly Interest = ₹42,500

 

Thus, the ₹60 Lakh fixed deposit interest per month earned at 8.50% p.a. would be ₹42,500.

 

Total Interest Earned Upon Maturity

• Total Interest = Monthly Interest × Number of Months

• Total Interest = ₹42,500 × 36

• Total Interest = ₹15,30,000

 

The total interest accumulated over the 3-year tenure would amount to ₹15,30,000, with a monthly payout of ₹42,500 

 

Note: These figures are estimates, and actual amounts may vary based on the bank or NBFC’s specific calculation methods and terms.

Many banks and NBFCs allow premature withdrawal of fixed deposits, but it often comes with certain conditions. The interest rate originally offered on the deposit may be reduced if you withdraw before maturity. Additionally, a premature withdrawal fee is usually charged, which can impact the overall returns on your investment.

FD Premature Withdrawal Example

You invest ₹60 Lakhs in an FD at 7.20% p.a. for 3 years but decided to withdraw after 1 year. The interest rate drops to 6.20% p.a. for the 1-year period. After a 1% penalty, the final rate reduces to 5.20% p.a., resulting in lower returns than expected.
