Overview of FD Calculator

Fixed Deposits or FDs is a long-term investment made by people for a secure future. Investors can select a predetermined duration for the bank to hold their deposit. In general, FD investments offer higher interest rates than savings accounts, making them a better choice for building long-term wealth. We at Vakilsearch provide a free tool to calculate your FD amount over a period of time or say when the investment expires, known as the maturity amount.

Formula to Calculate Compound Interest

How to Calculate FD interest.

M = P + (P x r x t/100), where –

P is the principal sum you have deposited.
The annual interest rate is r.
The tenure in years is t.
For instance, the equation reads as follows if you deposit ₹20 for 5 years at 10% interest:
M= ₹20 + (20 x 10 x 5/100)
= ₹30

The FD return calculator applies the following formula for compound interest:

M = P + P (i/100 + 1) t - 1, where -

P is the amount of the principal and I is the interest rate per period.

The tenure is t.

Advantages of Having an FD

1. FD may be used as security for loans

2. You may borrow up to 80–90% of the value of your FD

3. When the deposit matures, the depositor has the option of transferring the money for another fixed deposit.

4. Only one deposit of the money is permitted.

4. When money is withdrawn from an account after it has been deposited, a fee is charged.

5. If you have extra money and wish to invest it to make money, FD programmes are a wonderful option.

Tax Benefits on FDs

Fixed Deposits schemes are taxed similarly to other investment and tax-saving personal instruments. If the total interest earned from an FD surpasses ₹ 10,000 in a single financial year, a 10% TDS is applied to the returns. When we compare this to the SIP programme, it is clear that SIPs offer greater long-term benefits. Any SIP that invests in ELSS (Equities Linked Mutual Funds) beyond one year is likewise tax-free because long-term returns from equity are tax-free.
