Maturity Amount Calculation Example

Here’s how you can manually calculate the monthly interest earned for a ₹70 Lakh FD at an interest rate of 8.50% p.a. for a period of 3 years (36 months):

• Monthly Interest Earned = Principal × Interest Rate / 12

• Monthly Interest Earned = ₹70,00,000 × 8.50% / 12

• Monthly Interest Earned = ₹5,95,000 / 12

• Monthly Interest Earned = ₹49,583.33

 

The ₹70 Lakh FD interest per month earned  at 8.50% p.a. would be ₹49,583.33

 

Total Interest Earned Upon Maturity

• Total Interest Earned = Monthly Interest × Number of Months

• Total Interest Earned = ₹49,583.33 × 36

• Total Interest Earned = ₹17,85,000

 

The total interest accumulated over the 3-year tenure would amount to ₹17,85,000, with a monthly interest payout of ₹49,583.33

 

Note: This is an estimate, and actual figures may vary based on the bank or NBFC's specific calculation methods.

Banks and NBFCs may reduce the interest rate and charge a fee based on the amount withdrawn, reducing your earnings as ₹70 Lakh FD interest per month .

FD Premature Withdrawal Example

You invest ₹70 Lakhs in a fixed deposit at an interest rate of 7.20% p.a. for a 3-year tenure. However, you decide to withdraw after 1 year, the interest rate drops to 6.20% p.a. for the completed period. Additionally, with a 1% penalty for premature withdrawal, the final rate reduces to 5.20% p.a., leading to lower-than-expected returns.
