It offers guaranteed returns at a fixed interest rate, providing stability and security for your investment. With flexible tenure options, fixed deposits cater to different financial goals. They are a reliable choice, ensuring peace of mind and steady returns.

How is the Fixed Deposit (FD) Interest Rate calculated?

  • Manual Calculation: The Fixed Deposit interest calculation formula is as follows:

A = P (1+r/n) ^ (n * t)

  • Online FD Interest Calculator: You can also use an online FD interest calculator to get accurate results. It is best to use the algorithm-based tool as it can be used multiple times rather than calculating manually.
