Questions people ask

How is FD interest compounded?

Most Indian banks compound cumulative FDs quarterly: maturity = P × (1 + r/4)^(4t). ₹1 lakh at 7% for 5 years matures to about ₹1,41,478. Some deposits use monthly or yearly compounding — this calculator supports all three plus simple interest.

What is the maturity of ₹1 lakh for 5 years at 7%?

About ₹1,41,478 with quarterly compounding — ₹41,478 of interest. With simple interest the same deposit earns only ₹35,000, which is why compounding style matters when comparing offers.

What is the difference between cumulative and payout FDs?

A cumulative FD reinvests every interest payment until maturity, so interest earns interest. A payout FD pays interest to your account monthly or quarterly, leaving only the principal to grow — use the simple-interest option here to approximate a payout FD's total interest.

Is FD interest taxable?

Yes, at your income-tax slab rate. Banks deduct TDS once your interest across deposits crosses the yearly threshold — the maturity figure this calculator shows is before tax.

Do senior citizens get a higher FD rate?

Most banks pay senior citizens 0.25–0.50% extra per annum. Add that to your card rate here — on a 5-year deposit the difference compounds into a visibly larger maturity.
