How This Calculator Works
Enter your principal amount, annual interest rate, and tenure. The calculator uses quarterly compounding (the standard in Indian banking) to show your maturity amount and total interest earned.
Formula: A = P × (1 + r/4)^(4×t)
Tips for Maximizing FD Returns
- Compare rates across banks before booking — even 0.25% more on ₹5 lakh makes a difference
- Senior citizens (60+) get 0.25–0.50% higher rates at most banks
- Consider laddering — split your money across multiple FDs with different tenures
- Check if your bank offers higher rates for online FD booking
Track Your FD After Booking
