Using an FD Calculator for Easy Financial Planning
Fixed deposits are term investments offered by banks and NBFCs, providing a higher rate of interest for a predetermined period, ranging from 7 days to 10 years. To calculate the interest and maturity amount of an FD without hassle, an FD calculator is a useful tool available on the finoyou website.
Benefits of Using an FD Calculator:
-
Simplified Calculations: FD maturity calculations involve multiple variables, but the calculator performs complex calculations effortlessly, providing accurate results at the click of a button.
-
Time-saving: Avoid spending time on intricate calculations; the FD calculator saves you time and effort.
-
Informed Decision-making: Compare maturity amounts and interest rates of FDs from different financial institutions, helping you make well-informed decisions.
Formula for FD Maturity Amount:
The calculator accounts for two types of FDs: simple interest FD and compound interest FD.
For simple interest FD, the formula is:
M = P + (P x r x t/100)
Where: M = Maturity amount P = Principal amount deposited r = Rate of interest per annum t = Tenure in years
For example, if you deposit Rs. 1,00,000 for 5 years at 10% interest: M = Rs. 1,00,000 + (1,00,000 x 10 x 5/100) = Rs. 1,50,000
For compound interest FD, the formula is: M = P + P {(1 + i/100)^t – 1}
Where: i = Rate of interest per period t = Tenure in years
For example, with the same variables: M = Rs. 1,00,000 {(1 + 10/100)^5-1} = Rs. 1,61,051
