Formula to Calculate FD Returns

The FD calculator uses the compound interest formula to calculate the maturity value of a fixed deposit. The formula is:

RD Returns Formula:

M = P ×( 1 + rn)(n × t)

Where:

  • M =Maturity Value (Total amount at the end of the tenure)
  • P =Principal Amount (Initial Deposit)
  • r =Annual Interest Rate (in decimal form)
  • n =Number of compounding intervals in a year (e.g., 12 for monthly, 4 for quarterly)
  • t =Tenure of the FD in years

This formula allows you to understand how compounding impacts your returns and helps you plan effectively.
