August 05, 2024
Check your Fixed Deposit (FD) returns quickly and plan your investments in a better way with the help of online Fixed Deposit Calculators. A Fixed Deposit (FD) Calculator is designed to help you calculate your FD maturity amount in a hassle-free way
It simplifies the process of calculating the maturity amount, taking into account the prevailing interest rates and the tenure of the deposit. Let's understand how FD calculators work and how you can use them to calculate FD returns.
How Does a Fixed Deposit Calculator Work?
An FD calculator functions by using specific formulas to compute the maturity amount based on the details you provide. Here’s how it works:
1. Input Data
Enter the principal amount (the initial sum you deposit), the interest rate, interest pay-out mode (monthly, quarterly, cumulative or at maturity) and the tenure (the duration for which the deposit will be held) into the calculator.
2. Calculation Process
The calculator applies either the simple interest or compound interest formula to compute the maturity amount.
3. Results Displayed
The tool shows you the maturity amount (including the interest earned) that you will receive.

Example of How Fixed Deposit Calculators Work
Let’s look at an example on how the FD Calculator works:
1. Simple Interest FD Calculation:
Formula for simple interest: M = P + (P × r × t / 100); where M = maturity amount, r = rate of interest and t = Tenure.
Calculation: M = ₹1,00,000 + (₹1,00,000 × 10% × 5 / 100)
= ₹1,00,000 + ₹50,000
= ₹1,50,000
So the maturity amount is ₹1,50,000 and the interest earned is ₹50,000.
2. Compound Interest FD Calculation
Formula for compound interest:
M = P × (1 + i/100)^t
Calculation:
M = ₹1,00,000 × (1 + 10/100)^5
= ₹1,00,000 × 1.1^5
= ₹1,00,000 × 1.61051
= ₹1,61,051
So the maturity amount with compound interest is ₹1,61,051.
In this example, you can see the compound interest FD amounts to a higher maturity value compared to simple interest. You can use Ujjivan SFB Fixed Deposit Calculate to check returns on your FD investments.
Point to Note: Simple interest calculation is generally used for non-cumulative FDs having periodic pay-outs. Additionally, for non-cumulative FDs, the returns could be lower compared to cumulative FDs where interest pay-out happens at the time of maturity.
