How to Use the FD Interest Calculator?

You can use the FD interest calculator to determine the net interest you’ll get at the end of your period. Simple Interest and Compound Interest are the two ways for calculating interest on an FD. 

Simple Interest Formula: SI = P x R x T/100

This formula can be used as an FD interest calculator.

SI = Simple Interest

P = Principal (amount invested)

R = Interest Rate (in % )

T = Tenure 

Compound Interest Formula: A = P (1+r/n) ^ (n * t)

A = Maturity Amount

P = Principal Amount

r = Interest Rate (in decimals)

n = The number of compoundings that occur in a year

t =  Tenure

This is also another type of formula that can be used as an FD interest calculator.
