Fixed Deposit (FD) Calculator


🔹 What is an FD Calculator?

A Fixed Deposit (FD) Calculator helps you calculate how much return or maturity amount you will get at the end of your FD period.
It’s a simple online tool where you just enter —

  • Deposit amount
  • Interest rate
  • Tenure (months or years)
    The calculator instantly shows your maturity amount and total interest earned.

🔹 How Does the FD Calculator Work?

The calculation depends on whether your FD is simple interest or compound interest.

For simple interest:
👉 Interest = (P × R × T) / 100

For compound interest:
👉 A = P × (1 + R/N)^(N×T)

Where:

  • P = Deposit Amount
  • R = Annual Interest Rate
  • N = Number of compounding periods per year
  • T = Time in years
  • A = Maturity Amount

The FD Calculator automatically uses the compound interest formula used by banks like SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis Bank, and others to give accurate results.

✅ Know your maturity amount in seconds
