Fixed Deposit (FD) Calculator

Fixed deposits are safe investment instruments offered by banks and NBFCs with guaranteed returns. Interest compounds at various frequencies (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually).

Formula

Where A = maturity amount, P = deposit amount, r = annual interest rate (decimal), n = compounding periods per year (12/4/2/1), t = tenure in years

Current Rates (2025)

ICICI Bank (1-2 years)

As of August 2025

6.70% - 7.05% p.a.

ICICI Bank (2-5 years)

As of August 2025

6.90% - 7.40% p.a.

Shriram Finance (3-5 years)

As of August 2025

7.60% p.a.

Example Calculation

Scenario:

Deposit ₹1,00,000 for 5 years at 6.5% p.a., quarterly compounding

Calculation:

A = 1,00,000 × (1 + 0.065/4)^(4×5)

Result:

₹1,38,041.98 (Interest: ₹38,041.98, Effective yield: ~7.61%)

Key Points

  • Cumulative FD: Interest is reinvested; paid at maturity; maximizes compounding
  • Non-cumulative FD: Interest paid out periodically; suited for regular income needs
  • Premature withdrawal usually attracts penalty of 0.5%-1% depending on tenure
  • Senior citizens typically get 0.5% additional interest rate

Tax Implications:

  • FD interest is taxable under 'Income from Other Sources'
  • Banks deduct TDS if interest exceeds ₹40,000 per year (₹50,000 for senior citizens)
  • Submit Form 15G/15H to avoid TDS if total income is below taxable limit
  • DICGC insures bank deposits up to ₹5,00,000 per depositor per bank
