FD calculator formula

Maturity = Principal x (1 + Rate / Compounds)^Periods

  • Principal is the fixed deposit amount.
  • Rate is the annual FD interest rate.
  • Compounds is monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly.
  • Post-tax return depends on your slab rate.

What is a fixed deposit calculator?

A fixed deposit calculator estimates how much a deposit can become after interest compounding. It is useful for comparing banks, tenures, and compounding frequencies.

The PaisaProof version also shows tax drag because FD interest is typically taxable as income.

FD vs SIP

FDs are designed for predictability. SIPs are designed for long-term market participation. The right choice depends on time horizon, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and tax position.
