FD, RD and PPF calculator: see your maturity amount

Pick fixed deposit, recurring deposit or yearly deposit (PPF). Enter the amount, the interest rate and the years, and the calculator shows the maturity value and the interest earned. Type the rate from your bank or the latest government notification. This page does not store rates because they change. Your numbers stay in this tab.

Formulas used

Deposit How it is calculated
Fixed deposit (FD) A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^(n × t). Choose n: yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly
Recurring deposit (RD) Same amount every month, compounded monthly, deposit at month end
Yearly deposit (PPF-style) Same amount at the start of each year, compounded yearly

FD example: ₹1,00,000 at 7% for 5 years, compounded quarterly → maturity ≈ ₹1,41,478, interest ≈ ₹41,478.

PPF basics

  • Deposit ₹500 to ₹1.5 lakh a financial year.
  • 15-year term, extendable in 5-year blocks.
  • Interest is compounded yearly and is tax-free. The rate is set by the government each quarter.

The calculator does not enforce these limits. It shows the growth at the rate you enter.

Tips

  • Type the rate exactly as the bank quotes it. A 0.25% difference matters over 5–15 years.
  • Senior citizen FD rates are usually higher. Use that rate if it applies.
  • Interest shown is before tax and TDS.

Compare with a market-linked plan on the SIP calculator, or see a loan’s cost on the EMI calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How is FD interest calculated?

With compound interest: A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^(n × t), where r is the annual rate, n the compounding periods a year and t the years. Most Indian banks compound FDs quarterly. ₹1 lakh at 7% for 5 years compounded quarterly is about ₹1.41 lakh.

How is RD maturity calculated here?

Each monthly deposit earns interest compounded monthly, with the deposit counted at the end of the month. Many banks compound RDs quarterly, so a bank’s figure can differ by a small amount.

What are the PPF rules?

PPF takes ₹500 to ₹1.5 lakh a year, runs for 15 years and compounds yearly at a rate the government notifies each quarter. This page uses the rate you type and treats each deposit as made at the start of the year.

Where do I find the current interest rate?

From your bank’s FD/RD rate page, or the current small savings scheme notification for PPF. Rates change, so this page does not store one.

Is FD interest taxable?

Yes. FD and RD interest is added to your income, and banks may deduct TDS. PPF interest is tax-free. The figures here are before tax.

Is this a bank quote?

No. Banks round and compound in their own way. Use the result to compare options, then confirm with the bank.
