Frequently asked questions

How is FD maturity amount calculated?

Maturity amount A = P × (1 + r/n)^(n×t), where P is the deposit, r is the annual rate, n is the compounding periods per year and t is the tenure in years. For ₹1,00,000 at 7.1% for 5 years compounded quarterly, A is about ₹1,42,175, so the interest earned is about ₹42,175.

Does compounding frequency affect FD returns?

Yes, more frequent compounding gives a slightly higher maturity amount. For ₹1,00,000 at 7.1% for 5 years, yearly compounding gives about ₹1,40,912, quarterly about ₹1,42,175 and monthly about ₹1,42,469. Banks commonly compound FDs quarterly, but check your bank. The calculator lets you choose monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.

Is FD interest taxable?

In India, FD interest is generally added to your income and taxed at your slab rate, and banks may deduct TDS when interest crosses a threshold. Limits and rates change, so check the current rules or your bank. This calculator shows the pre-tax maturity amount and does not deduct tax or TDS.

What is the difference between cumulative and non-cumulative FD?

A cumulative FD reinvests the interest and pays everything at maturity, which is what this calculator shows through compounding. A non-cumulative FD pays interest at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly, so there is no compounding and the payout differs. Choose based on whether you need regular income.

What FD interest rate should I enter?

Use the rate your bank has offered for your tenure and category, since FD rates differ by bank, tenure and depositor type, and change over time. The calculator does not fetch current bank rates. Its default of 7.1% is only an example, and it accepts rates from 1% to 15%.

How is FD different from RD?

In a fixed deposit you invest a lump sum once for a fixed term. In a recurring deposit you invest a fixed amount every month. FD interest starts accruing on the full amount from day one, while RD interest builds up as instalments are added. Use the FD or RD calculator depending on how you plan to save.

Is my data shared when using the FD Calculator?

No. Toolskyt operates under a zero-server policy. All calculations, data formatting, and file exports are executed locally on your machine.

Do I need to sign up or pay to use the FD Calculator?

No, this tool is 100% free. There are no limits, sign-ups, subscriptions, or hidden charges required.

What is a reducing interest rate?

A reducing interest rate means interest is charged only on the remaining outstanding principal balance at the end of each period, rather than the initial loan amount.
